Hi Stefan,

   How often to you run your scheduled task, every 1,2,3 hours ? I am curious because I am running WPKG at startup, mind you this is our first deployment with Windows 7.  I can see a major advantage with a scheduled task. I think SCCM uses a scheduled task for it's agent also.

I also notice that there is username and password needed to access %WPKG_ROOT%, is this a world readable share ?

Thank you.
