Should this be possible? Would I have to remove all ...consider that upgrading wpkgclient by the way of wpkgclient is, anyway and everityme, a ''deadlock-prone'' process. indeed. In my experience upgrading wpkgclient by himself works, apart some corner case that have to be handled by hand (buggy pc, ...). Also changing wpkgclient configuration work. I suggest you a ''two fold'' process, upgrading first the client, and then upgrade the coniguration. I use a ''wpkgclient'' recipe for the client and a ''wpkgclient-settings'' recipe for pushing new settings on the client; normally not used, but... ;))) > Also, what is the best way to use wpkg to change the administrator > account password on windows xp and vista? I've built an hack to change administrator password, using only ''standard'' tools. Simply via wpkg i trigger an access to a samba share, that have guest access enabled and via ''root preexec'' run a ''smbpasswd'' agains the calling machine, using a perl wrapper script. Client need to have ''file and printer sharing'' enabled and no firewall on that part, but works, and via a simple semaphore file i can instruct wpkg to retry if something failed. With this approach i prevent to put the password on client-side, the password remains only server-side. -- dott.
