You can use Samba's preexec directive to launch a script when a PC connects to Samba. To launch WPKG on a Windows machine which connnects to Samba, we will use the below script and winexe.
Features
- will run software installation on Windows PCs without any additional client-side configuration,
Installation
- Copy/paste/save the below script on your Samba server. Note: the script should have UNIX end-of-line characters. If you use Windows, make sure your editor saves the script with UNIX end-of-line characters; if it's saved with Windows end-of-line characters, it will not work.
- Edit these variables:
- WINUSER, PASSWORD - user which will start software installation (must have admin privileges),
- LOGPATH - where to store our logs,
- WINEXE - winexe binary,
- TIMEOUT - winexe 0.90 has some bug which prevents it from exiting in some circumstances. Makes sure it's killed if it ever happens for you.
- IGNOREIPS - don't try to start software installation on these IP addresses
- down in the script, correct \\\\branchdc\\unattended paths to point to your server and software/wpkg share
- Create a LOGPATH directory (default: /var/log/wpkg)
- to smb.conf, add this to the [global] section:
root preexec = /root/scripts/wpkg-preexec.sh %I %m %S &
- don't forget to download winexe from http://eol.ovh.org/winexe/
- That's it!
Testing
In your server terminal/shell, start:
/root/scripts/wpkg-preexec.sh 192.168.145.150 pc-name-test netlogon
Meaning of command line arguments:
- "192.168.145.150" - start software deployment on 192.168.145.150
- "pc-name-test.log" - everything will be logged to /var/log/pc-name-test.log
- "netlogon" - when a PC connects to this share, we deploy software on this PC
In a different terminal on that server, cd to /var/log/wpkg and see the logfiles (pc-name-test.log and wpkg.log).
Some more info
- prevents from starting multiple WPKG instances on a single Windows PC
- new software deployment is started by Samba in two cases:
- PC connects to [netlogon] share (happens automatically for domain PCs which are turned on; nobody has to log in)
- if /var/log/wpkg/<workstation>.log is not present, or is older than 24 hours
- security: the script has admin username/password, so make sure to keep it in a directory which is accessible by root only
- security: winexe will present username/password in ps output. If it's a concern for you (i.e. unprivileged users can view process list on that server), you have to modify the script to use --authentication-file with winexe
- if you have WPKG Client running, but would rather disable it from this script, you can add these lines just before "net use \\\\branchdc\..." in the script:
taskkill /F /IM wpkgsrv.exe
sc config wpkgservice start= disabled
