Issue: Sysprep GUIRunOnce commands conflict with Provisioning actions in System Configuration stage

Description

The Sysprep [GUIRunOnce] commands are conflicting or preventing Provisioning from running actions in the System Configuration stage.

LANDESK recommends NOT using the [GUIRunOnce] section. 

Instead, LANDesk recommends adding each command that would be in the [GUIRunOnce] section as a Provisioning action.

Cause

The Sysprep file is configured to autologon in the [GUIUnattended] section:

[GuiUnattended]
AdminPassword=*
EncryptedAdminPassword=No
AutoLogon=Yes
AutoLogonCount=1
TimeZone=10
OemSkipRegional=1
OemSkipWelcome=1

The Sysprep file is also configured to run commands in the [GUIRunOnce] section. One of them may even be a reboot. This could occur if a Sysprep.inf created by an OS Deployment script was used or if the [GUIRunOnce] was populated manually.

[GuiRunOnce]
Command0="c:\ldsleep.exe 30"
Command1="net use \\ld87\ldlogon admin /u:Caldor\admin"
Command2="cmd /q /c \\ld87\ldlogon\wscfg32.exe /F /NOUI /REBOOT /DONTSTARTSVCS"
Command3="net use \\ld87\ldlogon /d /y"

The Provisioning actions and the [GUIRunOnce] commands will run at the same time and this may cause a conflict or interrupt that prevents the Provisioning actions from completing.

The Provisioning System Configuration actions are trying to start, but the [GUIRunOnce] commands are conflicting with the Provisioning process.

This is especially problematic if the [GUIRunOnce] section contains a reboot command.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, do the following:

1. Comment out (or remove) the following lines from the [GUIRunOnce]: 

   AutoLogon=Yes
   AutoLogonCount=1

    
     
   The [GUIUnattended] section should now look as follows: 

   [GuiUnattended]
   AdminPassword=*
   EncryptedAdminPassword=No
   ;AutoLogon=Yes
   ;AutoLogonCount=1
   TimeZone=10
   OemSkipRegional=1
   OemSkipWelcome=1

    

2. Remove the entire [GUIRunOnce] section. 

3. Create a Provisioning action under the System Configuration section of the Provisioning template for each of the needed commands in the [GUIRunOnce] section that were just deleted.
