Wait between Steps
Hello Community,
i am successfully deploying an inPlace Upgrade for Windows 10, and the setup routine exits with an "successfull" excit code, which makes the PDQ Deploy think that everything is finished. After that "successfull" exit, the machine is going to a "windows update blabla" screen and reboots several time, before it comes back online on its own.
I do have some following steps, like cleanup windows.old Folder which i would like to invoke as soon as the machine comes back online. Unfortunately i do not know how to accomplish this, because a sleep command fails with "Failed to connect to the service manager.."
The timeout settings only apply for a step that has started, but in my case no next step can start because the machine is in an "offline" state (updating windows). Is there another workaround to let pdq deploy "wait" for 20 minutes, after the premilinary has succeeded? And than try to start the next step?
Sry for my bad england

I know this is an old thread, but I stumbled on it and wanted to share a suggested approach. I did the same thing, and use the setupcomplete.cmd to do it. When you run your setup command, simply add the /postoobe step and point it to your setupcomplete.cmd file that has all your commands, steps in it. If you are doing it with PowerShell, add a line as such: powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -file <pathtoyourpowershellscript.ps1>. To keep things simple, I created a folder that had all my scripts, etc. I have even used the setupcomplete.cmd to install drivers. Below is a sample of one of my setupcomplete.cmd scripts
::Delete the scheduled task
schtasks /delete /tn "Windows 10 Upgrade" /f::Disable Windows Hi animation & UAC Settings
regedit /s "C:\Temp\Win10_1909\Post\disable-hi-animation.reg"

wmic csproduct get version | findstr /i "ThinkCentre M73"
If not %errorlevel% ==0 goto M73 else (goto M700)
:M73
cmd /c "C:\Temp\Win10_1909\M73\driver.cmd"
:M700
::Install M700 Video Driver
wmic csproduct get version | findstr /i "ThinkCentre M700"
If not %errorlevel% ==0 goto End2
:End2

As mentioned, this is my folder structure. Keep in mind, I used the setupconfig.ini file
