Via WPKG - it's activated by the task scheduler - once when a user logs in 
and again about 10 minutes before everybody goes to lunch.

I thought about it, but the script is ugly :)

It's not neccessarily a better way. But the script is fortunately 
extremely simple (it needs curl.exe in the same directory and uploads the 
log to a ftp server):

--- reporterrors.cmd
goto test
:wait
REM There's no sleep in CMD...
ping localhost
:test
reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WPKG /v running | find "true"
if %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 goto wait

FIND "ERROR" "%TEMP%\wpkg-%COMPUTERNAME%.log"
if %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 goto end

"%~dp0\curl.exe" -f -s ftp://server/wpkg-log/ -T 
"%TEMP%\wpkg-%COMPUTERNAME%.log"

:end
---

and call it with this WPKG-package:
<package id='reporterror'
        name='Report Packaging Errors'
        revision='4'
        priority='0'
        execute='changed'>
 
        <install cmd='"%COMSPEC%" /C start "reporterrors" "%COMSPEC%" /C 
"%TOOLDIR%\reporterrors.cmd"'/>

        <upgrade include='install'/>
</package>
