I am replying back to the list including your reply, which was sent only
to me.

WPKG is run on each client separately; the debug output above may have
misled you. It does not "go on to the next host". You have to configure
each of your clients to execute wpkg.js on its own, either by installing
the wpkg client or by calling wpkg.js by TaskPlanner, GPO or whatever.
Checks, of course, will then occur on and apply to each host individually

Bye,
Andreas
