Post Installation task order
The order in which you place your post-install tasks can significantly impact the success of your deployments. To ensure a smooth process, here are three key considerations when determining the sequence of these tasks:
- System Lockdown Risks: Does this task have the potential to lock down the system, causing other tasks to fail? (e.g., domain joining or anti-virus installation)
- Automation Dependencies: Does the task install or join something that could trigger other automation? (e.g., KACE agent initiating managed installs and scripts, domain join enforcing GPOs that launch scripts)
- Task Dependencies: Are there any dependencies for this task, or is this task a prerequisite for another? (e.g., network installation should be completed before any dependent installations)
As a best practice, the final three tasks in your sequence should typically follow this order:
- KACE agent installation (if required)
- Anti-virus or security software installation
- Domain joining
