Task Sequence steps only run when there is an user logged on

Question

_{Sunday, February 16, 2014 10:48 PM}

Hi,

I have a TS that encrypt laptop's hard drive using Bitlocker

The TS requires a few reboots, and I want to use the script that we created to prompt the user for reboot instead of using the default reboot TS task

That script will only need to run when there is someone logged in

my question is, is there a TS variable or something that can check if there is an user logged in?

Thanks

Andy

Hi,

How about using a script to detect whether there is an user login?

Use PowerShell to Detect if a Workstation Is in Use

hi bostos,

as TS were designed for os deployment, there is currently no way to check (and wait) for a user to be logged on.

If you do an internet search for part of the URL "use-powershell-to-detect-if-a-workstation-is-in-use" you can find a current, working link. I won't spoil the fun by linking directly to it.
