Hi Everyone, need a bit of help here....

i've been setting up our deployment solution over the last couple of weeks and have it all working well. But my setup requires the user to reboot several times. In order to try and speed things up a bit, i would like to substitute a couple of the reboots for log offs.

I have tried to use shutdown /l and have even written my own VB Script to log a machine off and added them to the task sequence but when the sequence gets to those parts, it logs off as expected, but while doing so i get a TSManager.exe error (i assume because it's trying to log off whilst the litetouch script is still running), then when i log back in, the task sequence continues from the log off sequence again, so the machine just log's off again, and we just go round and round in circles.

Does anyone know how a sequence can be written to log the machine off, record what ever needs to be recorded in whatever log so when you log back in, it will continue from the next task sequence?

(also how i can prevent the tsmanager.exe errors)
