[wpkg-users] Change of method of running wpkg

[B Royles (Staff)]

Michael,

Thanks for that, that was my original idea of doing it, but I think I
better explain more of what I am doing........

I currently have and personally manage around 600 pcs running wpkg.  So
if I get this wrong I will have people screaming for my blood!

I need to do two separate things

1) move them to use the wpkg installer
2) change the location of the xml files as I have finished implementing
your wonderful web interface!

As I have pcs currently running wpkg iirc I cannot take all packages out
if the original profiles just to leave the installation of wpkg in as it
will uninstall the packages that are currently installed on the pcs..

All newly formatted pcs will have wpkg installed as the last step of
unattended

Does that make it any clearer or have I just added more chum to the
water?


Ta,
Brett

I'd add the wpkg installer as a package in wpkg, then the next reboot,
your startup script launches WPKG which in turn installs the WPKG
installer.  Have the startup script touch a file on the local harddrive
to indicate that the WPKG installer has run so that the startup script
no longer launches WPKG.

If you need a more specific example of the file exist test via windows
cmd that is needed to pull off the above, just ask.
