Thanks for the idea. The issue this user has is that she regular uses a website that \
refuses to work with the newest version of Java. So it's not an installed app that I \
can check for.

Usually, the reason for this type of requirement is that there is some software that \
insists on this particular version.

You could add a check to your Java package definition that detects whatever software \
is the issue. That way, it will carry over to any other hosts that has the same \
software (and thus has the same Java restriction). You could also add a host-name \
check to the Java package definition, but that seems like a rather ugly way of doing \
it.

I encountered an issue today with WPKG and am not sure how best to deal with it. I \
have a desktop profile that includes our standard suite of apps including Java RE. \
One of our users needs to stay on release 6.0.23. How can I prevent java from \
updating on that one host without create another profile just for that one \
workstation?
