Deployment

I have created a Task Sequence for PXE booting to install Windows 7. The machine builds but when I log on it says there is a task waiting to run in 5 minutes. The machine reboots and it installs again, and so on. The task name is the task I have created but I can't work out why it is looping. I've attached a screen shot for assistance.

Many thanks,

Sarah.

to which collection have you advertised the task sequence ? also check the advertisement schedule properties ?

I've added the machine to the collection that this is advertised to. Hence it is being applied, but just keeps looping. I've checked the advertisement and it was set to "always rerun program". Could this be the issue? Have now set it to "Never rerun advertised program".

Yes, if the advertisement is on recurring schudule basic and if you make it to run Aways,it runs everytime when the policy reaches.Instead you can mak it to rerun if failed previous attempt also. If you make it as "Never Rerun" then it will not rerun on the machines where it is failed because of someother reason. So all depends on the scnario how we would like
