Task Sequence AFTER Sysprep

I am trying to have a handful of hardware-specific tasks run LOCALLY AFTER the machine has been sysprepped and shut down. This works fine as long as my distribution share is available. The line in Sysprep.inf: "cscript.exe C:\MININT\Scripts\LiteTouch.wsf /start" works great, but tries to connect. If My MDT 2008 server is not in use 6 months from now, my images will never complete. Why is LiteTouch reaching out to my networdk share? There is a copy of TS.xml locally?

I am only using MDT for the sole purpose of CREATING our base image. It will not be used for deployment in any way (as of now).

Thanks
Scott

Re: Task Sequence AFTER Sysprep

Just remove or comment out the line in sysprep.inf. This line adds the command to the registry to run on first logon.

[GuiRunOnce]
"cscript.exe C:\MININT\Scripts\LiteTouch.wsf /start"

My tasks will not continue if I do that. There were remaining tasks (based on model) that need to run AFTER the captured image is deployed (to any machine) without contacting my original BDD Server.

Re: Task Sequence AFTER Sysprep

I don't see how that is possible WITH the use of MDT/BDD since it always contacts the server when the task sequencer is ran for the first time.

I guess you can copy the files locally before the image is captured for the different tasks you want to run. Then add the tasks/scripts/etc to the [GuiRunOnce] section or in the 'Startup' folder in the Start Menu (be sure to remove them after the installs).
