K2 Client

Not saying its the best… Only that it's what I do;

Composer snapshot with all settings pointing to keyserver on network made in to a DMG and pushed out via policy.
When the computer restarts, it will properly check in with your keyserver

So far this has worked out for client upgrades and config changes so that units look to a new keyserver on the network.

Create a traditional package via Composer. Requires a reboot.

For updates we'll uninstall the previous package first, then install the
new version, and reboot.

Instead of using Composer snapshot, create the mpkg directly with K2Client.mpkg and then deploy with Casper. This gives you access to many useful installation switch settings. No reboot is required. Use "-r yes" to relaunch KeyAccess if necessary.
