If you're using Active Directory, you may use its functionality to use 
WPKG without WPKG Client:

http://wpkg.org/WPKG_with_Active_Directory


However, if you want to use WPKG Client, you may use wpkg.js to deploy it.

Just add a startup script like:

cscript \\your\server\wpkg\wpkg.js /synchronize


And a package definition from:

http://wpkg.org/WPKG
