If you have a Windows domain, you could use SHUTDOWN.EXE to automatically reboot all computers at some point in the middle of the night. If your computers have Wake on LAN, you could even automatically shut all of them down at 10 PM, and use WoL to wake them up (and run WPKG) much later in the morning.
Be aware that this will be a somewhat painful experience for users the first time round; you may want to let them know in advance. Otherwise, they may leave some information unsaved and find that they lost it in the morning. > -----Original Message----- > From: wpkg-users-boun...@lists.wpkg.org [mailto:wpkg-users- > boun...@lists.wpkg.org] On Behalf Of ????? ?????????? > Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 3:17 AM > To: wpkg-users@lists.wpkg.org > Subject: [wpkg-users] Periodical wpkg script execution from wprg client > > Hello. > > I am deploying software in my orginization using WPKG.
