| | Is their any way to make packages/commands weighted. What I am trying to do is create a series of packages or commands for certain OS's and I want them to install in a specific order. Some of the installs require reboot before they are complete but I don't want other installs to start until the reboot process has completed. Ideas? |

| | If multiple Tasks are assigned at the same time, they are installed in their original creation order. You can view the Properties of a Task and see the hexadecimal number that gets incremented by 1 based on the previous object's (computer, group, or task) number. The Tasks will run in ascending order according to this internal build Number. If you wish to install a series of Packages in a specific order, we recommend a script task. Prism Scripts can contain multiple Prism (and external) commands that will execute in top-to-bottom order. For example: /InstallPackage \\server\share\Package1.pwc
/InstallPackage \\server\share\Package2.pwc
/InstallPackage \\server\share\Package3.pwc If any of the Packages have the property set to 'reboot', that property will put on hold until the entire script has run. Then the machine will run the reboot command according the Package that requested it. If you wish to have a second Package install after a first Package has installed and rebooted, simply add the command:
"C:\Program Files\Prism Deploy\Client\PTClient.exe" /InstallPackage \\server\share\Package2.pwc to the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce registry key of Package1. That way Package1 will install it's changes, including the command to install Package2, and reboot the machine; after the machine reboots, Package2 will be installed.
