Title
Windows Post Installation tasks run prior to first login -
Description
In Systems Deployment Appliance (SDA) version 4.1.1148 (4.1SP1), post-installation tasks run prior to the first login for Windows 7 and higher image deployments. This has the potential to cause issues with tasks being deployed properly, if they rely on the commands being executed by the autologon account. -
Cause
The setupcomplete.cmd file is generated with a command to run the Task Engine immediately, rather than creating a registry key to execute the Task Engine at login time. -
Resolution
An official hotfix is available to manually upgrade version 4.1.1148 of the SDA only. This hotfix is not needed for the RSA.
The hotfix can be downloaded from the link at the bottom of this article.
To apply the hotfix, navigate to Settings | Appliance Maintenance, under the Manual Updates section, browse for the downloaded KBIN file, then click Update Server. This will not reboot the SDA, but may take a few minutes for the appliance to become fully responsive and refresh the pages.
Note: If the update page fails to load properly and you receive a page with the message: "This site can't be reached" you can remove ":52231/upgrade" from the URL to access the SDA again.
Verification of the completed update can be seen under Settings | Appliance Logs | Privileged Action Server | Output Log.
Once the upgrade is complete, all RSAs must be synchronized so that they receive the updated file.
This will resolve the issue and Windows Post Installations will run normally.
