<div>I am probably missing the tree for the forrest on this one. It seems so easy and even the product docs for wpkgCreateReport says under point 2.2</div>
<div><br>

<div class="column">
<ol start="2" style="list-style-type: decimal">

<p style="font-family: Arial; "><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'ArialMT'">The prerequisite is that you have copied the wpkg.xml file of every client to a central directory, carrying the name of the computer it originates from. This can<font class="Apple-style-span" color="#ff0000">
easily </font>be achieved by appending something like the following command line at the end of the script file you are calling wpkg from.

<p style="font-family: Arial; "><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'ArialMT'; color: rgb(0.000000%, 50.196000%, 0.000000%); background-color: rgb(90.200000%, 90.200000%, 90.200000%)">copy /Y "%windir%\system32\wpkg.xml" “%wpkgshare%\clientStates\%computername%.xml" </span></p>
</li></ol>
</div>
</div>
<div>I can see how this is <font class="Apple-style-span" color="#ff0000">easily</font> achieved in a deployment where a batch file calls up wpkg.js processing, one adds it just after cscript has finished executing wpkg.js and returns. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But how do you practically do it when using the wpkg agent, which is a service that does not really finish or return in that sense ? It seems that anything I try to do from it finds the wpkg.xml locked because the wpkg agent is currently processing it.
Doohh! </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There must be an embarrassingly easy answer to this, surely?</div>

</div>
<div>Thanks for pointing out what must be really "obvious" to most.</div>
