"Waiting for the WPKG-GP software installation service to start"

[Nuno Silva]

Hello everybody, I come here to ask for your help, if anyone has been through this situation please help me.

I installed version 0:15 WPKG-GP I configured the policies of the group and everything, the first boot the wpkg installs the software but does not install in the following boots and anything else is just giving the message: "Waiting for the WPKG-GP software installation service to start ".

I've already set the group policies to logged in wait for network settings and have put in this regedit key "HKLM \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon" / v GpNetworkStartTimeoutPolicyValue / t REG_DWORD / d 90 / f 'the = "microsoft windows 7"

I leave here the logs in order to see if something is wrong and help me.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Hi, I see the following:

2012-10-06 20:03:52,015 - WpkgService - ERROR - Error when processing Named Pipe Client:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "WpkgServer.pyc", line 195, in DoProcessClient
  File "WpkgExecuter.pyc", line 95, in Execute
  File "WpkgNetworkHandler.pyc", line 76, in connect_to_network_share
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe3 in position 19: ordinal not in range(128)

So it seems you have triggered a bug in error handling. The error should be:

An issue occured when connecting to '%s', the error code is %i and the error string is '%s'

Do you have a non-english Windows? It might not be too happy with non-ascii characters in the error string.

Anyway, it seems you have hit the "network is not available, but windows tells that it is"-bug. Could you try what is mentioned here: https://code.google.com/p/wpkg-gp/wiki/BasicTroubleshooting ?

hello,

Yes windows 7 that I'm using to implement the wpkg language is Portuguese and 32bits .. yes I've used the method you said, and the network expects wpkg only that the service does not start .. it waits about 90 seconds that was the key that set in regedit, but the service does not start wpkg.

Is there any way to overcome this with the system in Portuguese?

Thanks for your response.

With Best Regards

Hi!

I am not sure what the error is, but most likely it's that that wpkg-gp service is not allowed to connect to the network share. Do you have an english windows you can test the settings on?

hello people

Very Very Very Thanks! Finally I solved the issue. Yes it was because the system is non-english. Now it works perfectly.

One more thing!

 Is there any way to apply a profile software by dns name?

Example:

<host domainname="labs.ddb.fst.com" profile-id="labsddb" />

Just does not work, have some way to apply the profiles by name dns?

Good to hear!

Was it a configuration issue you resolved when switching to english? It should work on non-english windows, it's just that the error messages are not propely escaped, it seems (a bug by me :)

You'll probably have more success with the xml syntax and capabilities of wpkg itself on the wpkg mailing list, there are a lot of skilled wpkg users there.
