How to have a package step run regardless of an error in an Auto-Download package?
Hello all.
I'm fairly new to PDQ Deploy and am trying to figure out how to get a package "Post-" step to run even if a step in the Auto-Download package fails. Since I can't edit the steps for an Auto-Download package, how would I go about doing this? Would I need to create a standard package from the Auto-Download package and modify the steps to change the Error Mode to "Continue"? This seems to defeat the purpose of using Auto-Download packages and requires ongoing maintenance.
What is the best way to have a "finally" step that always runs, regardless of the outcome of previous steps? Prior to patching (as part of a "Pre-" step), I suppress alerts on the server being patched. If the patch fails, alerts continue to be suppressed because my "Post-" step to resume alerts never fires.
Thanks for any insight you can provide.
I currently have Windows patches scheduled to run on a monthly interval. I created a new pa

I can't test this, but I think it might work.
That works Colby Bouma. Thank you very much. Nested packages was exactly what I needed to implement. Cheers!
