Yes, probably you run WPKG with /quiet flag.
This means it logs all what WPKG says to Windows event log.
By default, Windows event log is 512 + 128 + 64 kB large, for various event groups (rotated).
Isn't it a joke? 720 kB maximum logs? So that they could fit on a single side floppy, anyone still remember those? :)
You use "copy" command, and I believe your "copy" is running in verbose mode, so it produces a lot of text, which gets appended to the event log.
So you have at least three solutions:
1) increase the size of event log on all your Windows workstations
2) don't use /quiet with wpkg.js
3) run "copy" (and all other commands that produce output) in a quiet/silent mode.
If the quiet/silent mode is not available, you can make the command quiet by appending >nil at the very end of the command.
So, point 3 is the easiest and recommended.
