[wpkg-users] WPKG running as local system unable to download profiles.xml file

Can you try using psexec.exe or beyondexec.exe with the -s option to remote
into the problem computer(s) and execute wpkg as the system account to see
if it gives any helpful error messages?

In my organization (about 2,500 computers), I use a custom WPKG service
running as the system account to execute wpkg.js.  This works great on 98%
of them, but I have a handful of workstations in remote offices with T-1
lines that have trouble.  On these few computers, I get an error that "The
account is not authorized to login from this station."  But if I RDP into
the computer, open Windows Explorer, browse to \\server\share\<WPKGROOT>
and then start my WPKG service, then it runs just fine.  The error message
that I'm getting could be caused by conflicting SMB signing policies or bad
DNS records, but it seems strange that it works after opening the UNC path
from the workstation (with a different user account).

Hopefully the beyondexec.exe or psexec.exe method can reveal a helpful
error message even if it's not the same problem I'm seeing.


Cheers,

Troy
