Tried doing the most basic of tests I could think of.

Run script command with only contents being: pause

Boots into WinPE fine, then I get error 1 in the console and it boots back to production.

Can't get ImageX commands or anything else to run in WinPE either. :(

Hi, Let me start with a

Hi,

Let me start with a couple of questions:

  • Does the client connect to the eXpress share?
  • Does the Aclient even start?
  • Have you tried to have a job that just starts a CMD prompt?

    REM CMD prompt via WinPE
    start /wait cmd

Network

It could be one of three issues that I can think of.

1.  Network drivers.  If you do not have valid network drivers in WinPE, it will just reboot after it can't connect using the DAgent.  Make sure that  you have proper network drivers in your WinPE image.
2.  Job associated with client.  If there is not a job associated with the client, the automation agent will just reboot if it has no work to do.  Verify that there is a job scheduled for this machine.
3.  Job is looking for a specific automation agent.  If the job is looking for WinPE 64 bit and you boot into WinPE 32 bit, it is going to reboot.  Same goes for if it is looking for Linux or DOS and you are in WinPE.  Would also recommend that you do not use AUTO for Automation Boot.  You should at the very least choose the correct OS that you want it to use.

Hope these three items get you started.
