That explains it - The messenger service is disabled by default since XP SP2 and all my clients are either XP SP3 or 2003 SP2. I tend to leave Messenger disabled on corporate machines since some stuff (such as certain APC devices) shotgun alerts to everywhere rather than just to specified destinations.

To disable this use the /nonotify switch or set the "nonotify" parameter to "true" in config.xml. Maybe your WPKG client installations suppress the notifications using the /nonotify command. Note: For this to work Windows needs to run the "Messenger" service (except on Vista/7 where msg.exe is used instead of "net send"). 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
