Greetings,
I am wondering if anyone is using wpkg with unattended and in what
form.
Are you using wpkg to push out updates?
Windows updates - no.
I use Windows update for that (configured during the Unattended install).
Other updates - yes (Acrobat Reader, Firefox updates, new software
versions etc.).
Are you using wpkg to push out new apps so don't have to rebuild the
whole PC?
yep.
I also manage quite a large amount of PCs that are located in different
cities throughout the country, so it's the only sane way to do it.
I just started to look at wpkg and it looks like a really good
package.
I do have a few concerns....
1 - Can the packages.xml file be split in smaller files. I deal with
approx 90 packages (more if you include the new versions that have to
be tested before we push them out).
It would be a pain to navigate through a .xml with 90 packages, how do
users of wpkg manage?
well, it's a planned feature to allow WPKG to "read" from multiple
smaller files.
Knud Albrechtsen has made a fix to allow multiple smaller files - see
this bug report: http://bugs.wpkg.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3
You can download the modified WPKG version here:

I am currently using unattended and I looking at wpkg as a way to push
out updates. I guess I could just use wpkg to call unattended scripts.
mostly, you would need some modifications though (I think - perhaps some
paths would be gone/different etc.)
