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.

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? Assuming you give proper credentials in WPKG Client, I don't see why it shouldn't work. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
