Deployment Solution

Hello,

I have created an image capture job that runs the following tasks

1. Prepare for capture (sysprep task)
2. Create Image Task
3. Reboot to production
4. Restore config based on Inventory

At step number 2 the task runs multiple times, so I end up with multiple images. In the console it shows the task as failed because "waiting for the agent to get the task"

Help.

The client is booted into production (windows) when you run the capture job, right?  

Does sysprep run (you can see in taskmgr sysprep.exe running to confirm) and then reboot machine to your PXE environment?

If so, does Ghost/RDeploy start, can you see the image being captured and then the mahcine reboots to production?  I assume so since you say you end up with multiple images, just making sure.

I don't think your create job needs step 4.  If you want to reimage/restore the image machine, I would do so with a separate image job.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes the client starts in Windows when I run the job, it run sysprep and reboots as expected. Next it runs the image task and captures the image. At that point I expect it to reboot to production but instead it runs the capture task again and two images are created on the task server. However only the second one is registered in the database.

After subsequent tests I'm not seeing this anymore, perhaps a transient error?
