You might just simply call a shell script instead of wpkg.js directly:

@echo off

start /wait "wpkg" "cscript.exe" "%SERVER%\wpkg\scripts\wpkg.js" /synchronize


So you can use any variable - no matter if system-wide defined on the client or
defined within the WPKG-Client. Or just define the variable within the shell
script - whatever you like.
