You mean that you can directly and manually execute WPKG on a remote node, after a change to the configuration for example? I use "SC STOP WpkgService" and "SC START WpkgService" locally in my script to restart the WPKG service. But according to the documentation (like <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490995.aspx>) it can also be used remote: sc [ServerName] stop ServiceName and sc [ServerName] start ServiceName [ServiceArguments] HTH, Frank -- Frank Morawietz |
