I have a task sequence that performs a standard OSD and some applications to install.  Due to some applications requiring a reboot, A restart has been added between two application install steps.  The applications before the reboot install successfully.  The ones after, they fail.  Has anyone seen this?

After performing some investigation, it appears the CIDownloader cannot find the content after the reboot.  I assume the agent components aren't done initializing before the task sequence tries to continue with an application install.  Someone suggested passing the task sequence for 5 minutes after the reboot.  Any way to do this?

It sounds a lot like the issues that they've created the SMSTSMPListRequestTimeout task sequence variable for.

That variable can be used to specify how many milliseconds a task sequence waits before it retries to install an application after it fails to retrieve the management point list from location services. By default, the task sequence waits 60,000 milliseconds (60 seconds) before it retries the step, and retries up to three times. This variable is applicable only to the Install Application task sequence step.

Hi,

It sure sounds like the Timeout issue, I wrote a post about it, there are two more settings you can set as well.
