Specific package will fail with a "Failed to connect to the service manager" but only 50% of the time. And will always work on retry!

So I created a package to install VMware Horizon, pretty simple package. One step to run the installer with the following parameters:

/silent VDM_Server=domain.com ADDLOCAL=USB /norestart.

The rest is all default behavior.

What's weird is that the package will give me a "Failed to connect to the service manager" but only about half of the time. And if I try to deploy again right after it failed, to the same exact machine without touching anything else, it'll work without any issues.

This seems very random to me and I have no clue what could be causing this. Any help is appreciated!

    Solved, it was failing because the computers would reboot to a bios update that took longer than the reboot timeout (5 minutes).
