Another (possible) work around by group policy is as follow:
- Start --> run --> gpedit.msc
- Local computer policy --> computer configuration -->
administrative templates --> System --> Logon (for vista, xp
should be similiar)
- Enable 'Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon'
This group policy will wait before a network connection is established
which makes for example domain login possible on wireless connections.
IF it however also works before WPKG service is started I cant tell but
you could give it a try.

As a workaround, you could probably use Windows Task Scheduler, or
(Local) Group Policy? Note the drawbacks though:
- GPO is hard to setup if you have a Samba domain controller, because
you have to use local policies
- I noticed that the Task Scheduler tends to "forget" the password. So
for example, when you configure a task to be started as a user "joe"
with password "secret", it happens that the password is somehow
"forgotten" after several months (even if it wasn't changed at all!) and
has to be specified again. This happened for me in several separate
Windows 2003 domains.
Actually worse!
I'm running a handful of Vista Home laptops for the family at home
"managed" by WPKG. Vista home does not have GPO at all.
The Task Schedule approach requires that WPKG is installed/maintained by
hand on each PC's as environment settings etc needs to be defined locally -
really not an option.
Scheduled Tasks can be scripted:

Works on XP, should work on Vista.
As such, you can install it even remotely via a script with winexe (from
remote Linux) or psexec (from remote Windows).
The real alternative is to grant admin rigths to users and then run wpkg.js
by a logion script - but that sure triggers other issues ;-)
Yeah, that's "THE BAD WAY" to do it.
