BASE_PATH is just a define in the WPKG_constants file I added so when it came time to switch the location it just takes one line. What’s important about this is your web server needs to run as a user which has administrator rights to the machines you’re pushing to, otherwise psexec.exe won’t work. This is a bit of a security hole, but I also locked down WPKGExpress with LDAP authentication so we felt okay with it. The only other option is to pass a username and password to psexec in plain text – and if you do that, anybody on that machine can just open the task manager and see what command is running, giving them access to an administrator account.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Trey Terrell – Forestry Computing Helpdesk</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Dave Goodbourn [mailto:dave.goodbourn@u-fx.co.uk] <br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, June 01, 2011 3:46 AM<br><b>To:</b> Terrell, Trey<br><b>Cc:</b> wpkg-users@lists.wpkg.org<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [wpkg-users] Deploying System in Real-Time<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>After a little investigation this morning, turns out that my VLC setup wasn't verifying correctly.

There’s a bunch of other fancy stuff – package-specific logs and such so I don’t have to ever mess with XML or .log files, WPKGExpress just parses everything for me. As someone noted after me, for package notification I rewrote part of my wpkg.js to automatically launch wpkgmessage in the console session (using psexec -i – haven’t found a better way yet) to notify them of which packages are currently being installed.
