I use WPKG within VMWare, Virtual-PC and VirtualBox without problems
yet. However I do not use the logon delay feature. What I noticed is
that VMWare sometimes is extremely slow when handing out DHCP adresses.
This might cause a problem with the WPKG service. Probably also an issue
with the VMWare tools which are started _after_ WPKG service.
However I just use it for testing purposes and usually I run WPKG
service from the services MMC snap-in to test what is happening.

Sure? I thought that Bug 106 is reporting a problem where WPKG service
seems to wait for the maximum logon delay. Probably there is really an
issue. If I have some spare time I will try to verify it on my VMWare.

No. The 'exit /b %errorlevel%' is entirely correct. See 'exit /?'. On my
Vista it reads:
[...]
/B specifies to exit the current batch script instead of
CMD.EXE. If executed from outside a batch script, it
will quit CMD.EXE
[...]
So when using exit /b within a script you can exit a script with a
certain exit code (%errorlevel% inserts the exit code of the immediate
previous command). When /b is not used, then exit will not only exit the
current script but terminate the whole CMD.EXE process. Which means that
if you run exit within a script invoked by another one ('call
script.cmd') it will never return and continue in the calling script but
terminate completely. If 'exit /b <code>' is used, it will terminate the
called script returning the specified code.
