Hi, I am using "wpkgCreateReport" available at http://www.gig-mbh.de/edv/software/wpkgtools/wpkg-create-report-english.htm This allows to create a HTML or Excel report of your installations. As a prerequisite you need to copy the installation database from the client to the server. I am doing this with the following pre- and post-scripts of WPKG-Client: --- Pre-Script WPKGclearLog.bat (clear the server-side log backup to better indicate, if wpkg did even finish successfully) echo %DATE% %TIME% ERROR : WPKG did not finish successfully! >"%SOFTWARE%\AppDeploy\ClientLogs\%COMPUTERNAME%.log" --- Post-Script WPKGclientCollect.bat (collect client information to be processed by wpkgCreateReport and custom tools) set script_name=%~n0 echo %DATE% %TIME% INFO : WPKG successfully finished! >"%SOFTWARE%\AppDeploy\ClientLogs\%COMPUTERNAME%.log" echo SOFTWARE .... %SOFTWARE% >"%TMP%\%script_name%.log" echo WPKG_ROOT ... %WPKG_ROOT% >>"%TMP%\%script_name%.log" if exist "%TMP%\wpkg-%COMPUTERNAME%.log" copy /Y "%TMP%\wpkg-%COMPUTERNAME%.log" "%SOFTWARE%\AppDeploy\ClientLogs\%COMPUTERNAME%.log" >>"%TMP%\%script_name%.log" if exist "%SystemRoot%\system32\wpkg.xml" copy /Y "%SystemRoot%\system32\wpkg.xml" "%SOFTWARE%\AppDeploy\ClientStatus\%COMPUTERNAME%.xml" >>"%TMP%\%script_name%.log" --- This works quite good for me. --- There is limited checking included in wpkg.js itself. To get all the information run "cscript.exe wpkg.js /help" inside a command prompt. --- Finally the next, not yet released, wpkgCreateReport version includes displaying of orphaned packages, which is really helpful.
