Be careful of setting configuration in GPO and WPKG, if both offer the 
same possibility (i.e. set up variables, deploy MSI packages) - 
especially in multi-admin environment.

It may lead to a situation where one admin defines something in GPO, 
then the other admin defines something else in WPKG - which can lead to 
"interesting" effects (i.e. GPO installing packages and WPKG removing them).
