I'll comment it farther below.

You can use the same model (Admininistrator or unprivileged user) with 
both unattended and wpkg.
And I'd discourage using guest access for accessing any WPKG shares anyway.

The best approach IMO is to use an unprivileged user to access a 
password protected share.



So, here is the log file:

It waits over 30 seconds to access the first file - looks like either:

1) this workstation is *very* slow
2) your profiles.xml file is *very* large (and all other XML files)
3) there is some problem accessing network shares (WINS, DNS resolution, 
other network problems etc.).

If I'd have to bet here, I'd bet on 3).


This looks even worse:

Definitely, it is not normal.
Does it affect every machine?
