But they can afford you to spend some days on investigation, maybe adding some additional days developing a custom solution and a lot of support effort in the future ;-) Well, their choice... > Uuuuurgh... horrible.

Where's the preference on startup script execution? WPKG client offers a pre-execution script but this would not fit your requirements. I thought that this synchronization needs to be an independent service running at Windows startup. For example using rsync and srvany to create a service. WPKG supports to run at shutdown - so it could "try" at every shutdown if there is something new in the repository synced to the local disc. > but it requires, for every DSL-connected offices, to set up different > package configurations.

If you follow the WPKG suggestions you should have used variables like %SOFTWARE% which points to your software share (e.g. "\\wpkgsrv\software". If you use a NAS device you could assure that the local device is available at the same hostname/IP on each site and use identical client configurations. Alternatively you might have independent client configurations where the clients at each site user a different WPKG client configuration exporting a custom %SOFTWARE% variable. I would prefer the first solution - have all clients connecting to the same server name and resolve this name to another server on each site. br, Rainer ------------------------------------------------------------------------- wpkg-users mailing list archives >> http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/ _______________________________________________ wpkg-users mailing list wpkg-users@lists.wpkg.org http://lists.wpkg.org/mailman/listinfo/wpkg-users
