Windows FOG client does not always restart the computer post successful snap-in install
-
This only happens about 15% of the time…
After the Kaspersky AV snapin completes successfully, the FOG service returns an error, says it will try again in 5 minutes but it never updates the log file again. I am including a snipit:

I copied this out of the log 30 minute later and no more entries were created. The snap-in is removed from the task list as if it completed successfully but never restarts. A remote reboot (shutdown -r -f -t 0 -m \computername) restarts the machine and the last snap-in continues normally.

@dsloan-ethra what build of Windows are the systems running? (E.g Windows 10 1709)
-
@joe-schmitt Windows 7 Pro SP1
-
@dsloan-ethra is Kaspersky AV started once as the Snapin Pack finishes? I’m thinking this may be AV related.
-
@joe-schmitt Yes. Kaspersky starts when the snap-in finishes.
Sometimes the FOG Client will crash on other snap-ins, but setting the service to automatically restart fixes that issue. This is the only snap-in that does not always reboot after it is completed. I’ll play around with it, maybe adding a wait-time after Kaspersky is installed to let it do whatever it needs to will help.
