[wpkg-users] Collecting config data from Client PCs via WPKG

Hello everybody,

I wanted to use our quite well established WPKG infrastructure to collect some data from the client machines. 2 Scripts should be executed and write data in the WPKG logfile folder.

For example I try to "Retrieving a program's version" once for every client:
http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/2014-March/030204.html
with
<install cmd='\\SERVER\deploy\software\wpkg_scripting\cscript.bat' />

## cscript.bat ##
@echo off
c:\windows\system32\cscript "C:\Program files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus >"\\SERVER\deploy\log13\%computername%_MSOFFICE_%date%.txt" 2>&1

.. and try to retrieve Office Keys (every time PC starts) and with:
<check type="execute" path='\\ SERVER \deploy\software\wpkg_wmic_inventarisierung\wmic_liste.bat' />

## wmic_liste.bat ##
@echo off
%COMSPEC% /C wmic product get InstallDate, Name, Version, InstallLocation, Vendor, IdentifyingNumber >"\\SERVER\deploy\log13\%computername%_%date%_SOFTWARELISTE.txt" 2>&1

Unfortunaly there's an error "access denied" (in the WPKG log) for most of the PCs ... oddly enough it works on my PC (Win7 64bit prof.) when I restart the WPKG Service!? All wpkg client services run with "local SYSTEM account" and "data exchange between service and desktop is allowed.

The logfilefolder has NTFS Rights for User SYSTEM and WPKGuser (user while installing WPKG-Client-Service) incl. "change" and Rights for share "\\SERVER\deploy\" the same way.
