Hello everyone , when I deploy my machines using WADS, I use a post-installation script. One of its actions is to rename the C drive to SYSTEM and create a D partition on the remaining disk space . I've noticed that the post-installation script runs every time the machine boots, even after the installation is complete. For example, if I rename my SYSTEM volume to TOTO, it will be renamed SYSTEM on the next reboot. For more details, I've inserted the script into the "right-hand" section of the configuration I apply to my PC. Is there an option I can configure to prevent this, or a best practice I might have missed? Thank you in advance

The script to launch is here
The last line of the script should normally be:
Which disables the task itself.

So if it doesn't work, it's possible the script doesn't complete because it crashes beforehand

Hello

thank you for your reply.
It seems I've found the problem.

I tested the method of not writing the code directly in the right-hand side of the configuration, but importing it as a .cmd script.
However, to be able to import it directly, I had copied the script to the "C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\templates\wads_template\windows\post_install" directory on the administration machine where the console is installed.

From that point on, the script only ran once.

To summarize, in the following two cases, the script ran continuously:
- Command lines written directly in the "script" section instead of being imported as a script
- Script located in a different location than the post_install directory described above (the script was located on a shared drive).

Hello again!

After looking into your reply, the problem actually stemmed from the fact that my script ended with the `exit` command,
so the task deactivation command never executed.

Thank you for your feedback.

We can therefore close this topic

Hi Yannick,
