Great Tip For MDT 2010

Michael Niestrom posted a handy tip for a problem I was looking at.  The problem?

When the Lite Touch deployment is complete it:

  • Leaves the PC logged in as a local administrator: The idea is that this is a light touch deployment.  We kick it off and walk away.  You can’t reasonably do that if you leave 10’s or 100’s of PC’s in the building all logged in as a local administrator.
  • A splash screen is left up on screen when the task sequence completes.

Michael suggests that:

  • You add a command-line based step to shutdown/restart the PC as the last step in the task sequence.
  • You disabled the summary screen with SkipFinalSummary in the CustomSettings.ini (aka deployment share rules).

Thanks for the tips Michael!
