nerdynerd Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 Do "Script" Application packs run before or after the domain is joined? Do they run as the user that's entered in the answer file or is it ran as some built in user like SYSTEM? I'm hoping to run a batch file or a powershell script after the imaging is complete to call our to our software deployment system for some packages. I have a working script so I'm just trying to integrate that with SmartDeploy and understand when and by whom it's going to run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmartDeploySupport Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 Depends on the phase. PREIMAGE and POSTIMAGE: These occur in WindowsPE, before and after the image is applied, respectively. SPECIALIZE: These occur after reboot, during the Sysprep SPECIALIZE phase (executed essentially by the Sysprep process itself - they are written into the Sysprep Unattend.xml files). For your specific question, domain join occurs after these tasks would be executed, so if they are domain-join dependent, you'll want to run them during... FIRSTBOOT: First Boot as System. These occur behind the Windows login screen, and are executed by the service that is just called "SmartDeploy" (not to be confused with the SmartDeploy Client Service), under the authority of the LOCALSYSTEM account, which has admin-equivalent permissions, more or less, and can be used to install software as long as you're using a silent/unattended command line for the installation. FIRSTLOGON: First Logon as User. These are written into the RunOnce area in the Windows Registry, and are executed under the authority of whichever user logs in first. This can be combined with Autologon if that's useful. We have some examples here, if that's helpful:Answer File Tasks If you there's anything specific you're trying to accomplish and it isn't working as expected, go ahead and open a support ticket and we'll assist however we can.
