The recommendations I saw on the forums was to migrate to icacls.exe. Do you have any info on this? To answer Lonney's post I do agree with him however we are going to try to approach the WPKG update process from a variety of angles probably including Group Policies and/or scheduled tasks however we would like to have user initiated updates as one of the options so our help desk staff can help a user trigger an immediate upgrade.
