We Use WPKG to manage software deployment, and registry changes for roughly 200 Windows 7 64 bit PCs. Once set up it is a very easy and simple system to use, with a wealth of silent installers already put together by the WPKG community waiting for you to use.

We use WPKG to manage software installs and updates. We also push out custom scripts that change system settings or program behavior. WPKG is installed on 2,000 Windows 7 computers, with a mix of 32 and 64 bit. We use to get countless help desk calls about outdated software on staff and faculty computers, because they are not re-imaged every year. Now we are able to keep the software updated without disrupting the users, either by manually installing the software or re-imaging the computer. We are able to push out scripts to make various changes at the next reboot. This is commonly used before the start of a semester to update the favorites bar for online learning resources.
Now that we have all of the packages created, installing updates is extremely easy. We put the new installer on the server and update the package with the new version number. It only takes a few minutes to push out a software update to the entire college.
