Purpose
You receive the error, "Deployment thread locked up and was terminated." or "Scanning thread locked up and was terminated."
Resolution
You might receive this error when multiple commands are being sent to a single machine by PDQ Deploy or PDQ Inventory. For example, a deployment is initiated across a slow connection that also initiates a Wake-on-LAN event, or a deployment is initiated during a PDQ Inventory scan.
While this is a transient error, it is recommended to add a Sleep Step (PDQ Deploy Enterprise mode required) or to wait until other operations are complete prior to initiating the deployment/scan.
