I've created a package (pak1) on an SAP GUI installation server. The package started to fail and I later deleted it. This package (pak1) was installed on over a hundred client machines. I later recreated the package (pak1) with the same name but the client machines will not automatically update from this new package after it was updated. Is there some way to get these machines to recognize and update from this new package without having to re-run the new package (pak1) on all the clients?
hi Armstead,
If you have created package successfully then have to put the correct command in script.
Would you share the command which you have mentioned in the script.

Hi Armstead,
An Automatic Workstation Update Service (AWUS) will update the workstations and reboot them if necessary, whenever the installation server is patched, or the packages installed are updated
You have to configure the Automatic Workstation Update Service on the Installation Server. Based on the parameters you configure on the Installation Server, all your workstations gets updated automatically when you patch/update the server.
Thanks

hi Armstead,
would you confirm me one more thing that are you trying to run this package on work group or domain level.
please also have a look at below thread
and if you still get the same issue then please let me know, I will guide you via step by step.
Regards,
yes, I'm well aware of this. I've been using AWUS for several months now. Up until I deleted and recreated the package all workstations were updating perfectly when I patch the server. Take a look at the SapPackageWksta.xml located at"C:\Program Files\SAP\SapSetup\Setup you will noted that each package is associated with a unique guid, I think this has something to do with the workstation not updating because when the package is recreated it has a different guid associated with it. thanks larry
Dear,
As you mentioned that you are doing this on workgroup then please put below text in notepad and make batch file and execute it.
net use \\mayserverpath\Setup /user:sap sap /persistent:no
\\mayserverpath\Setup\NwSapSetup.exe /Silent /Package="pak1" /noDlg
run this batch file and please let me know about the result
