If you use WPKG, we would be glad to hear what you think about it.

Please specify on how many workstations you use it, with what type of network (Samba, Active Directory, mixed, etc.), and other information that you think could be useful.

Also, it would be interesting, although not necessary, to specify your name and/or country, company/university/school, with links etc.

We use WPKG on about 200 workstations, both with Samba and Active Directory. It is very flexible and saved us a lot of work. We don't use AD's built-in software deployment capabilities, because they were too limited and allowed only MSI installation - we use WPKG solely instead.

Syneticon Networks

We use WPKG on about 100 workstations with Active Directory. It's really easy and flexible.

We use a Samba/LDAP Domain and for about 40 Windows XP PCs WPKG represents the software deployment tool. Its simple, reliable and efficient

We are in the process of deploying WPKG on to a network of around 70 PCs: have been impressed by the flexibility that WPKG offers for determining which workstations get which packages. Very nice. -- Cancer Epidemiology Unit, University of Oxford

We ars using Wpkg in a Samba(Linux) based domain. We are deploying WPKG on about 250 worksations. It's really simple to use ! Ecole Normale Sup�rieure de Lyon

I just finished a project for Schule Schongau in Switzerland. Here we manage about 15 computers using WPKG. All server-backend runs on Gentoo/Linux. In addition I implemented a linux-based RIS server (check out Linux-RIS for details, thanks to Sherpya). The installation is currently running on WPKG version 0.9.11-test1 directly accessing the configuration from WPKG-web. Through one single RunOnce entry it is possible to automatically install WPKG at the end of the setup process. After a restart it starts to deploy the software - very clean and smoothly.

Mississippi Department of Archives and History uses WPKG for approximately 100 computers spanning multiple geographic locations and buildings. Almost all of our servers are CentOS Linux, with a few Windows 2003 Servers for proprietary applications.

We use WPKG to deploy software on about 120 workstations in our nine libraries. The file server is Samba.

I work in 9 small schools that mainly use Win98 machines as "servers" and use it to deploy software installs in combination with Autoit scripts. Approx 300 computers in total. (Could really do for dependencies to work though :-( )

I also manage computers in few schools her in Canada, roughly 300 machines. I use WPKG and Unattended.sf.net. I can even fathom not to use it. Now, if I could just figure how to install legacy apps - like adibou - I would be the happiest man on heart.

And also, common, cloning is so 2000!

We use WPKG on SambaEdu 3 networks.
An interface has been developed to administrate available packages on the server.
This interface is integrated within the interface of the SambaEdu server. It allows to:
- upload an upgrade packages from http://www.crdp.ac-caen.fr/forum/index.php.
- associate packages with groups of machines or individual hosts.
- display status of packages installed on the hosts.

We use WPKG in a Samba3+XP environment, on about 60 workstations. We are a secondary school, Kosztolányi Dezső Gimnázium

At the [http:\\www.biostat.washington.edu|University of Washington Biostatistics Department], we support over 100 computers using WPKG on a Samba network. WPKG has the flexibility to cater to the needs of several different classes of users, from students to research faculty to administrative personnel,all while reliably installing all of the software that each of those users needs.
