WPKG can add great value to your Samba or Active Directory setup, as it allows to perform software installation, updates, removal etc. on your workstations. It features dependencies and there is a windows service wich does all this on machine start, user logons can be delayed until wpkg has finished its work.

It is also possible to execute custom scripts on your workstations, like synchronizing time, setting printers, changing permissions or adding registry entries (basically, some of the things you would do with Active Directory and Group Policy / GPO).

Basically it is a set of XML files and a javascript program. There is a web-gui for package/machine management available at http://wpkg.linuxkidd.com/.
