Hi - We're trying to do a software deployment in SCCM 2012 that requires running two executables, each of which requires a restart IMMEDIATELY after it completes. We want to configure it with an installation deadline, but give the users the option to run it manually prior to the deadline.
We have tried two methods, both of which pose challenges: 1) We tried running a task sequence, which makes the reboot portion much easier, but even though the task sequence itself contains reboots, the user notification indicates that a start is not required. Anyone know a way around this? [cid:[email protected]] 2) Then we tried daisy-chaining the two applications together in an advertisement. But we discovered that even though both applications are set to run 'whether or not a user is logged in', if you run the first one while logged in, and then the reboot completes, the 2nd portion won't complete until the same user logs back on. We would hope that it would run once it gets back to the Windows logon screen. Anyone have any experience with that? Is it because the first package ran with a user logged in, that the 2nd is expecting to run in the same context?
