No installation required when the workstations are switched off

Hello and Happy New Year to all,


I've noticed that on one of the domains I manage, the workstations aren't applying the update on shutdown. I must have made a mistake during deployment, but since it was a while ago, I can't figure out where the problem lies.

The domain runs on Windows 7 Pro with a Linux server (no GPO). WAPT is installed on my machine. The agent was deployed using PsTools, and manual installations work correctly.

I tried using the command `wapt-get add-upgrade-shutdown`, which returns "none" on one client and "FATAL ERROR: IndexError: list index out of range" on the machine hosting the WAPT server.

Is there a command I can add to a WAPT package to force this setting or reinstall the `wapt-exit` service?

Argh, I hadn't read the entire documentation. By deleting the gpt.ini file as indicated in the corrupted local GPO resolution guide, I managed to fix it.

For those who don't want to use PsTools and scripts to correct the problem, you can manually push the package attached to this message from the WAPT console. It only fixes the corrupted local GPO issue, but this would be a good opportunity to offer a dedicated package to address common problems.
