xneilpetersonx -> CM Install Start up Script interfering with “Setup Windows and ConfigMgr” Task Sequence (10/3/2008 12:47:01 PM)

I’m running into an issue with this Task Sequence and a CM client install/health script that I have running against production machines. They symptoms are a quick blue screen followed by a reboot at the “Setup Windows and ConfigMgr” task.  I’ve been able to get around this on most machines by having the Task Sequence drop the computer account in an OU not tied to the start up script – then later in the task sequence I have a script that moves the computer account to the correct OU. This works great unless the machine account already exists in AD. In this case the account obviously does not move to the “staging OU” and is thus hit again with the battling start up script vs. Task Sequence.

I am imagining that trying to script the movement of these accounts or even the on the fly deletion may be a bit convoluted and before attempting something thought I would ask for alternate opinions.

Thanks

So you've basically got a Startup script trying to install/repair/manage the client during the OSD process? While you could script the computer account object moves (you'll need to wait for things to replicate between your DCs after you move it), it might make more sense to maybe go a different route...

If you're using a Startup script, why not code the script to check for a specific file or registry key that you set in your base OS .WIM image? Code it so that if the file/key exists the script doesn't do anything. Then as the last part of your OSD process, have a script remove that file/registry key so that your Startup script will run as expected.

Just my two cents...
