I think there could be an easier solution. In wpkg there is a possibility for
IP based host matching. So Wpkg client, too, could check if the notebook or pc
has an (DHCP) ip address within the range of the local network(s) of our
company. And
only in this case the installation from server will be started. Or, we do not
start if the ip address is within the range of ip addresses which the vpn
clients get when logging in from outer world. An extra dhcp option entry could
be used, too, which isn't distributed via vpn.

There are other cases where Wpkg client shouldn't start, e.g. if the size on
the system drive is smaller then xx MB. 

Or, we could define a timeout for getting the installation file from the
server. So, if after 1 minute the office file isn't there, we abort the
session. But perhaps this could be an "emergency" rule only. Could be useful in
situations of heavy loaded servers, too. 

Just my 2¢.
