Think in particular I'm going to find PING, Memtest and DBAN handy.

WPKG might be handy for some pesky software packages to deploy maybe like TrueCrypt.

Good stuff.

 

Has anybody used WPKG?

 

I'm using it a bit, seems quite good and more flexible then using AD.

 

It's not however a golden bullet, it took me quite a while for instance to get it to deploy CS4 properly. For some reason the installer wouldn't work from a network location, even with a drive letter set. Ended up configuring it to copy the deployment files to the work station and run them from there.
