[wpkg-users] Running wpkg.js as System Account

[LAPLAUD François]

Hi,
In fact my problem is not related to Windows 7 exclusively.
I prefer not using wpkg-client because I don't want all my workstations to deploy packages at system logon.

I prefer using some scheduled task to be able to update machines during the day without waiting for a reboot.

I also don't want user notifications, except when needed (so I use the notify=true parameters in packages definition when needed).

And this way, I don't need to install anything more than a scheduled tasks.

Anyway, thanks

If I remember correctly, you use psexec. Could you make a test please,
using Wpkg Client? You could trigger Wpkg Client remotely, too, if you
just set the Wpkg Service to run "manual" and trigger the service start
via psexec. Wpkg client works flawlessly here on W7, just doesn't show
the messages on startup. That's why we are trying to get wpkg-gp running
on W7-64.

Salut,
Falko
