[wpkg-users] user password in settings.xml for wpkg client
Hello! I'm trying to generate password to wpkg share on my server. Idea is like this: * I'm using puppet, but it could be any other tool for configuration management * puppet is generating all wpkg config files based on database content * ok, so after first run I've got all .xml files, and all packages files (.msi etc.) nicely downloaded to my server (linux with samba) * and now I'd like to generate password for wpkg user to access share with software... OK, the problem is, that wpkg client scrambles it's password in settings.xml file. I'd like to have random passowrd for each server I manage. There is no problem to generate settings.xml file (and thus ease installation on wpkg client on workstation), but do you know what algorithm is used to scrable password? I'd like to recreate it my script.

Is this possible? How do the rights work with this? Essentially, what you're referring to as WPKG consists of two parts: 1) wpkg.js - it's the brain of WPKG and does all package installation/upgrades, checks, logging etc. 2) WPKG Client - it's a tool which helps you start wpkg.js on your clients Technically speaking, you can use wpkg.js without WPKG Client, i.e. by starting it as a script in group policy, as a Scheduled Tasks job etc. So at this point (you only use wpkg.js) it will work with several domains, provided you start it properly. WPKG Client adds a couple of nice features, and eases the deployment, especially if you don't have a AD domain (but a Samba one). You didn't specify what do you want to achieve? I.e., do you have multiple domains, but want all your workstations access one fileserver?

[wpkg-users] Re : Question about multi-domain environment
Hi Tomasz, To explain myself a bit more in details we offer services to several domains (around 20) so each of them is another 'company'. I can't call it a company but more a mini-company into a big company let's say. So everything works on Windows so no Linux or other is used. All the clients are WindowsXP users. Later on (around 2009) maybe Vista will come but for now it's only Windows XP Pro. The goal we want to achieve is that we can stage machines here at our bench with a WPKG environment or elsewhere with a sort of bootable DVD (with a fully equiped WPKG environment if it needs one). We'll install the client to have more options and the ease of deploy maybe. Now when a computer crashes, the user can't work anymore and a solution must come so I looking for a method to install Windows XP again from scratch for that computer. That's one of the goals. Another is to deploy applications with groups that were grouped by company or managers or ... Also deploy some software on a computer after an installation of the OS has been done. I hope it's clearer :-))) Michael - Message d'origine De : Tomasz Chmielewski [EMAIL PROTECTED] À : Karl [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc : wpkg-users@lists.wpkg.org Envoyé le : Jeudi, 24 Avril 2008, 17h01mn 03s Objet : Re: [wpkg-users] Question about multi-domain environment Karl schrieb: Hello, I hope my question will be answered We manage a multi-domain environment and we want to test this WPKG tool in order to deploy some programs ans patches to several domains.

Thank you - that's great code :)
I'm really no programmer - but could we add this code to next relase
of wpkg-client?
Right now - no, as you used all our bandwidth by leaving the whole
source code in the email's body (10k sent to all 224 list members!) ;)
I'll place it in the downloads if someone asks for it once again (you're
the second person as I remember).

Re: [wpkg-users] Re : Re : Question about multi-domain environment
Hi Karl, Karl wrote: No please no more microsoft tools Is this possible with WPKG? Well, I think you can - but you did not exactly specify what you want to do. Your question about multi-domain environment does not really apply to WPKG as WPKG does not care about domains (except for accessing user accounts). You might also use a centralized software repository (or synchronized software repository) and then just assign your profiles to the clients. Here is a short description how I use it: I use WPKG on multiple, completely independent, Windows domains as well (all served with Samba, but this is irrelevant). On my master domain I create a share and put it on a server which is available to the clients under the name 'software'. So all clients on my master domain access WPKG on \\software\RemInst\wpkg\wpkg.js. All the software is stored at \\server\RemInst\software\... \\software\RemInst\software is referred as %SOFTWARE% (see WPKG variable definition) To distinguish between hosts on different sites I prefixed them all according to the site. At installation you can use winnt.sif to to achieve hostname prefixes. Just specivy ComputerName = * and OrgName = site1 - so all host will be named like site1-someRandomValue. Then I created host specifications like site1-.* and assigned profiles to them like site1-default. To make it even easier you might create a profile called something like global-profile and then add it to the dependencies of siete1-default - so most of the packages (which are globally the same) do not need to be added to each profile, just keep them in the global one. So now here the clue comes... I use rsync (well, on Windows there might be similar tools - or use cygwin) to synchronize WPKG and the software share to remote sites. On all remote sites the software deployment server is called 'software' so the \\software\RemInst\... paths are valid on all the sites. I do not need to prepare custom packages for each site. Even if the server name would be different you can just define another path for the %SOFTWARE% variable. This setup allows me to update multiple sites with a simple rsync command.
