[wpkg-users] Solution for WNetAddConnection2-> Access denied

[Pendl Stefan]

Hi Jens,
     I am successfully running WPKG on x86 and x64, what I do is installing on shutdown with the client installed on each machine.
Deploying the client is a one time thing, so it is much easier to do.
Installing at shutdown, takes care of running processes, since those are already killed by Windows, while the user logged off.

Hi,

I've had another look at the "WNetAddConnection2-> Access denied" problem.
Sadly even with WPKG Client 1.3.6 the patch from tanqueatun making WPKG Service depend on ALG didn't help at all.
Also as I've written before setting dependencies to other services (afd tcpip ALG Netlogon Dhcp RasMan LmHosts) doesn't seem to affect this problem at all.

I've made it log all actions to a logfile (see below):

This is a working run:
2009-03-27 11:43:35 -> Starting WPKG on startup
2009-03-27 11:43:35 -> Before create shared memory: successfuly done.

This run didn't work (after the automated restart of the run above):
2009-03-27 11:44:48 -> Starting WPKG on startup
2009-03-27 11:44:48 -> Before create shared memory: successfuly done.

As you can see the second run failed even before the pre-action script was run. :/

I've also checked the status of all the files on the server, disabled all file locking mechanisms of Samba and so on. No files were locked or anything.

My biggest problem atm is that this bug seems to appear more frequently now than a couple months ago. And nothing (neither hardware or software) really changed either. :/ Currently almost every second or at best third run (using my automated restart script) fails due to this error. :(


I'm completely out of ideas now.
Any ideas/patches/solutions on how to finally fix this nasty POS bug out of the way would be greatly appreciated.
