After a little investigation this morning, turns out that my VLC setup wasn't verifying correctly. After a quick tweak all seems to be fine now, thanks.
Trey - how are you executing the psexec from WPKGExpress? Are you using the php exec/shell_exec commands? This sounds like the perfect idea for what I'm looking at. I was going to write a simple small desktop app to execute the psexec command on all/select workstations but building it as part of WPKGExpress would be far nicer! Cheers for your help guys, D.
