[wpkg-users] WPKG with winexe (as an alternative to WPKG Client)

[Tomasz Chmielewski]

As we all know, WPKG Client does not work reliably on some hardware 
configurations and generally broke when SP3 was released for Windows XP.


So I wrote a small bash script as an alternative method of starting WPKG 
(wpkg.js) on Windows workstations and it works well for me on a couple 
of Samba servers.

Good news is that no client-side installation/configuration is needed.


Samba, bash and winexe are needed, so this will not work for Active 
Directory users (unless someone rewrites it to use psexec) - but they 
can use startup scripts, so no big issue here.


You can find more info and source code on:

Feel free to comment, send corrections (as patches) etc.
