One importing thing when deploying images is ensuring there is some sort of indication that Lite-Touch has ended and the machine is ready for use. For security, you may wish to shut the machine down at the end or log the machine off. This behaviour is optional by using the FinishAction property in the customsettings.ini.
Use this to log the current user off at the end of a deployment:
FinishAction=LOGOFF
Use this setting to turn the computer off at the end of a deployment:
FinishAction=SHUTDOWN
To reboot the computer at the end of a deployment use either
FinishAction=REBOOT
or
FinishAction=RESTART
These settomgs can be used in the customsettings.ini or as a Task Sequence Variable.
Great series, Andrew. Very informative. Just wanted to add that you can also use it in the configuration DB, if you’re using that.
Thanks Rob,
I’m keeping the posts basic for now, then I’ll be moving onto the advanced topics including the SQL Database and also configuration manager integration. Thanks for posting and keep reading.
Great, I’ll keep an eye out for the advanced posts. Cheers!
