OSD Task Sequence: A script may fail without error when deploying a 64-bit OS

Excellent information! Now for the tough part: how do we know when to use it? Since the failures don't seem to generate any messages in the logs, in many cases it's hard to tell what the net effect on the entire task sequence might be. (We use a single task sequence to deploy both 32- and 64-bit versions of Vista.)

This is complicated by the fact that we have a *lot* of command line operations sprinkled throughout our task sequences... and most of them use cscript. I don't want to take the shotgun approach of enabling it on all of them, because that seems a little foolish.

So, is there some secret way of either a) telling which steps are having trouble, or b) a general rule to know which kinds of operations are adversely affected?

One other question... does ticking that “disable” checkbox have ANY effect on 32-bit operating systems at all? If not, we can be a little more confident in experimenting with it.

Thanks, folks!
