[wpkg-users] WPKG + Wireless Laptops

Hello.

I've been looking into WPKG and it looks like it can be very useful for 
my needs.

It is my understanding that the client looks for packages to install 
when the system boots. The information I have found has not been 
extremely clear.

What happens when WPKG can't talk to the server?
With a wireless laptop, will WPKG wait until the wireless connection 
come ups to attempt to contact the server? If not, when do updates get 
applied?

I have a few labs of Windows Vista/7 laptops. I would like to push out 
various updates. What I don't want to happen is for a user to login and 
start working and then have the programs they using update. Also, 
occasionally some of these laptops will go offsite where they won't have 
access to the WPKG file share.

It is also my understanding there is no status displayed to the users 
unless if WPKG-GP is used, correct?

Thanks!
