[wpkg-users] [Bug 141] Unable to install client through software group policy

[Peter Gough]

The MS approach is that you must use transform files (.mst) to modify the
package. There are apps which will let you work with these (Orca and InstEd
both spring to mind) but there is no way to directly enter command line
switches in AD.
