  • 1.  Software Action before Clone?

    Posted Mar 25, 2009 08:24 PM
    I need to run a check to make sure user is not present on a machine before I send a clone task.  I have a system variable that monitors if the unit is logged into or not, but I can not get a task to work where it would do a Software Action before a Clone step.  Please let me know how I can acomplish this.

    Thanks!

     Hi,

    Functionality to re-ordering tasks in that way is not available in 2.5. One option is using a longer warning period so that users can log out.

    The other option is, if you use inventory/dynamic folders to find out if a user is logged in. Then by running an inventory task against the static folder, you can get the logged-off machines to a dynamic folder and run the task on the dynamic folder.

    This is not as good as the ability to run a command before hand, but depending on your environment, it may help.
