Powershell scripted install over a VPN connection.

I'm working on a deployment to update the VPN client for remote workstations. I was planning on a Powershell script that does the following:

Copies the VPN client installer to a local folder.
Stops the VPN client (Removing the machine from the network.)
Installs the update.
Deletes the local copy of the installer.
Reboots computer.

If I put all this into a PDQ Powershell step, will the PDQ generated PS script run all the commands, or will it fail as soon as I stop the VPN client?

I believe it will fail. You will probably have to create a scheduled task to do the bulk of the work.
