yes

reboot script:

/start wait Shutdown -r -f -t 60

then i do a dummy ping to delay the next post install task (i found it would start the next once before the reboot occured)

start /wait ping 127.0.0.1 -n 20

also tried to reduce the reboot time from 1 or 10 seconds. same results. it works only part of the time

With windows 7, you need to initiate a run once command after a reboot to guarantee that post install tasks kick off.

Do you mean the remaining post install tasks in the KACE GUI will continue to run after reboot, or do you mean that you have to create a run once command for each post install task to be done after reboot?

Essentially I'm installing my applications, scripted events and file copies (including all the drivers I want to install) with kace post installs, then putting one run once command to point to a batch file that installs all the drivers after reboot.

I have a script that we've been working on that should help with tasks not waiting properly or not surviving reboots. Please shoot me a PM if you'd like to try it out.

Crazy question, but have you tried a reboot as a PostInstallation task?

Thats what we have had to resort to as well. I hope there is an offical solution to this soon.

I'm a little confused as to how your doing this could you shed some light on it for me a little? Here is what my scripted install currently does postinstallation:
1. Basic Windows Applications Bundle (Adobe Reader, Flash, Shockwave, JRE, Firefox)
2. Change Workstation Name using WSNAME
3. Install Office 2010
4. Install K1000 agent
5. Reboot
6. Join Domain (Using a Powershell script)

I seem to get all the way to the reboot and sometimes it will join the other times it doesn't do I need to do something different?

jrscribner, I was having problems with the domain join as well and I discovered that it was because the powershell was running before the network was up and running, so it won't find the domain.

Put this in your powershell script before the domain join

Start-Sleep -s 20

(change the number to number of seconds you want) and it should join every time.
