Windows 7 (and windows XP) : a method to run wpkg at shutdown
(sorry for my basic english...)
Firstly, the actual option "run at system shutdown" of wpkg client is
not compatible with windows 7.
Secondly, windows 7 systematically kills wpkg service after 10 minutes.
My solution : i don't use wpkg service, i call directly wpkg.js with a
simple script at shutdown !
Explanation of method in 5 steps :
*** Step 1 *** (increase to 30 minutes the "gpo script timeout")
with gpo : Computer Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ System
\ Scripts
Maximum wait time for Group Policy scripts = 1800
--- OR ---
with a registry script :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"MaxGPOScriptWait"=dword:00000708
*** Step 2 *** (increase to 30 minutes "gpsvr service timeout" for
windows 7)
with a registry script (launch at startup) :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\gpsvc]
"PreshutdownTimeout"=dword:1b7740
*** Step 3 *** (display script during shutdown)
with gpo :
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon
Run shutdown scripts visible = Enable
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System
Verbose vs normal status messages = Enable
--- OR ---
with a registry script :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"HideShutdownScripts"=dword:00000000
" VerboseStatus"=dword:00000001
*** step 4 *** (create and "secure" the user account "wpkguser" )
Create a user account "wpkguser" (on domain or directly on the server)
All shares \\192.1.1.2\wpkg$, \\192.1.1.2\tools$, \\192.1.1.2\sotware$
must be "read only" for user account "wpkguser".
If necessary, disable windows logon for account "wpkguser" by using a
script logon like this "logoff.bat" :
@echo off
shutdown /l /f >nul
*** Step 5 *** (run this script at shutdown with a gpo OR locally with
gpedit.msc)
Computer Configuration \ Windows Settings \ Scripts \shutdown \ Wpkg.bat :
@echo off
cls
echo.
echo. ___________________________________________________
echo i\ _________________________________________________\
echo. i i i
echo i i Mises a jour en cours : vous pouvez partir. i
echo. i i i
echo i i L'ordinateur s'eteindra lui-meme. i
echo. i i i
echo \i__________________________________________________i
echo.
echo.
rem (disable mouse : thanks to Daniel Dehennin)
start /B /d "%programfiles%\wpkg" nomousy /f -h >nul
rem (with the user account "wpkguser" mount network map without drive
letter)
net use \\192.1.1.2\wpkg$ /user:domain-or-computer\wpkguser
wpkgpassword >NUL
rem (define the variables use in the packages)
set TOOL=\\192.1.1.2\tools$
set SOFTWARE=\\192.1.1.2\software$
rem (call "wpkg.js" script )
cscript //Nologo \\192.1.1.2\wpkg$\wpkg.js /synchronize /nonotify /quiet
rem (call a script "wpkgbaseclient.bat" to store wpkg.xml and .log on
server)
call \\192.1.1.2\wpkg$\wpkgbaseclient.bat
Good test !
