"The task sequence has been suspended" when using a conditional task sequence

I'm getting the dreaded "The task sequence has been suspended. LiteTouch has encountered and Environment Error (Boot into WinPE!)" when using a conditional task sequence. 
I've created a "Install Application" task  right before the "Restart Computer" in the postinstall phase. The task installs a Dell Bios update.  I've added two WMI conditions on the task, to match it with the correct model and to check that the
bios not current.  This works very well, except for a strange issue.  When the computer reboots into WinPE, I get the error above.  The message stays for about 30 second and then disappears.  After that the computer reboots into Windows
7, runs the Bios Update and throws up a similar message but with the addition of Use the desktop shortcut to resume.  (however there is no shortcut).  The message disappears after a while and the process stops there. If I reboot
manually, the installation will continue and finish without any error. It's as if a LTIsuspend.wsf was inserted.
Does anyone have any clue what's happening?

Thanks for the answers, but I finally figured it out.  The problem was due to where I had inserted it during the deployment sequence.  The bios update task sequence was attempting to run in WinPE.  I moved the sequence to the state restore
section and now it's working perfectly.  I was trying to run the update earlier during the installation sequence, as was recommened by Dell, but that doesn't appear to be feasible.  This will have to do.

  • "The task sequence has been suspended. LiteTouch is trying to install applications. This cannot be performed in Windows PE."

    MDT 2012 Server is up and running. I mistakenly deleted a Task Sequence step called "Install Application" that I thought was not needed (I know I should have disabled it and tested).
    I have a problem now, when I went to image a computer I did not get application list (This used to work before I deleted the above TS step) with items to check and uncheck for installation.  "Install Application" TS was readded but now when I try to
    image I get this error:
    "The task sequence has been suspended. LiteTouch is trying to install applications. This cannot be performed in Windows PE."
    I've tried moving it to different positions on the list (Higher and lower) to no avail, I always get the same error. Please advise.
    -Thanks in advance!

    On the computer you are deploying to "the client", boot into WindowsPE just like you are going to image and before you authenticate or
    get any dialogue boxes, press F8 in WindowsPE to get command prompt and type the following:
    diskpart
    list disk
    select disk 0
    list part
    select part 1
    clean
    create part primary
    assign
    active
    exit
    Please mark this as the answer if it works.
    You are awesome this worked for me I didn't see how I was going to get my new computer to reimage again Thank you sooooooooooooo much!!!

  • Why are certain sites suspended? some of the backdoors for game sites show "This Account has been Suspended" when you try to access them.

    What does "This Account has been Suspended" mean and why are certain sites suspend?

    This is what I get:
    ISP: Be Un Limited
    Organization: Be Un Limited
    Connection: Broadband
    Services: None Detected
    City: Horsham
    Region: West Sussex
    Country: United Kingdom
    It can't be a problem with my ISP or my IP address since it only happens with Firefox. When I try out the same listings with other browsers it doesn't happen. eBay said Firefox must be making it seem as though I am in France. Goodness knows how or why??

  • How the sContainerLocation parameter has been set and used?

    Hi,
    I'm confused with the following 2 methods in IContainerProvider Interface (Java EDK5.0):(1) public IContainer attachToContainer(String sContainerLocation, ChildRequestHint oHint, String Locale);(2).public ChildContainer[] getChildContainers();
    I'm not sure how the sContainerLocation parameter has been set correctly for the top lever container and the sub level (child containers). What i intended to do is crawl all documents (all have a unique ID) into Plumtree portal. I plan to set the parent folder ObjectID as a datasource parameter. Can anyone please tell me how to use the "parent folder ObjectID" in those 2 methods.
    Thanks in advance,

    Mihir,
    For the top-level container, set parent folder Object ID equal to CrawlerConstants.TAG_PATH. I've only configured this via a custom SCI page in the Crawler admin object, so I'm not sure if it will work as a setting in the Data Source as you wish to do. You can try it in the data source and if it doesn't work, then try it in the Crawler. When set correctly, the portal will automatically call attachToContainer with sContainerLocation equal to whatever value you have for TAG_PATH.
    For child containers, just set the sLocation in the ChildContainer equal to the folder ObjectID and the portal will use that as the value for sContainerLocation on its subsequent attachToContainer calls.
    -Dave
    I've set this in the crawler UI, and I'm not sure if it will work in the data source.

  • Hi, recently my iPad has been crashing when using the apps. What can I do to solve this? Thanks

    I also have trouble using the wifi, on some occasions I have to disconnect from the wifi and reconnect to load web pages. Is this my device or my internet? I have called my service provider and they have not been able to solve my problem. Thanks.

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

    However, I try to run this program in emulator, it works fine.This confused me.
    Could anyone tell me Why this happened?My testing device is Lumia Icon

    Hi Y.H.King,
    You mean the same code works fine on Windows Phone runtime real device also Windows Phone Silverlight 8.1 Emulator but does not work with Windows Phone Silverlight 8.1 real device? Both on the same device?
    However a strange question is you are applying the code to Silverlight app, but your error information seems to be WinRT information. And which Lumia device are you using?

  • "A critical error has occurred while running the virtual machine and the machine execution has been stopped"

    I have the following error:
    "A critical error has occurred while running the virtual machine and the machine execution has been stopped"
    When I am installing grid clusterware and when is copying files from one node to other I received that virtualbox error and is stop working.
    Can somebody give me any hint how to solve it ?
    Thank you
    Eugen

    I think that is not a Clusterware issue, The clusterware installation may generating a high load on your machine and Virtual Box is not supporting.
    Check vbox.log file to identify root cause.

    Hi,
    I would guess this is  an AIM valid Screen Name such as an Apple issued @mac.com account.
    I would also guess you travel to other countries.
    There have been several posts about @mac.com names and people who travel and use their Screen Name elsewhere having the name Suspended.
    Can you Log in here  https://settings.aim.com/ ?
    Is this where you saw the Suspended message ?
    For AIM issued name the answer is to change your Password as this tends to prove you own the account.
    This does not work for Apple IDs used as  AIM Valid Screen Names as AIM can't tell when the password is changed (They can only see it when you log in)
    AIM's Suspended Account page has an email ([email protected]) on it to contact if your account remains Suspended.
    However you need to be very clear that you have an Apple Issued Name and that you know that resetting the password that works for AIM Names and that you would like them to reset the account.
    More recently this has been a sticking point.  It seems the Contact you get does not always know about the agreement that AIM recognises Apple Issued IDs as Valid Screen Names and that the AIM  servers can only view the passwords at specific times (or at least confirm them) so you changing it will make no difference and that they have to step in manually.

    That was the first thing I check, my X no longer exist, the app still works fine and does everything it did in the past, the the x (delete) option is no longer there.  I have deleted and redownloaded the app and did a complete reset, X still not there as an option.  Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

  • Errors in the OLAP storage engine: A duplicate attribute key has been found when processing

    Hi dear MSDN Community,
    I am facing a problem while processing a cube with a customer hierarchy as follows:
    Global Account --> Main Customer --> Master Customer --> Customer
    The data comes from a flatted parent child table, that is, I create an extra column for every level of the hierarchy in the customer view. If a level is empty, then the value is filled with the previous value. Then I can use the property:
    HideMemberIf = OnlyChildWithParentName for the intermediate levels (Main and Master Customer)
    HideMemberIf = ParentName For the leafs (Customer)
    HideMemberIf = never for the root (Global Account)
    Consider this example:
    Then, for the root level I am using as the key the fields in yellow in order to avoid duplicates. However, I am getting the error message "Errors in the OLAP storage engine: A duplicate attribute key has been found when processing" while processing.
    I analyzed the query that SSAS issues to the server (select distinct ....) and I think it should work but it is still failing.
    I had similar problems with the intermediate levels but I was able to solve it using a similar procedure.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Kind Regards.

    When are you having this error? While processing the dimension or during cube processing?

  • My iPhone is about 6 months old now and I would say I don't use it that much. Yet for the last month or so the battery life has been going down and today after having charged it to 100% this morning, it was at 5% at 4 pm this aft. help!!

    Ok Fellas, let me give you a clue:  Games, particularly those that make heavy use of graphics and sound are notoriously power hungry.  In fact, when I was in the Navy many years ago, the folks working on the NTDS (Navy Tactical Data System)  computers used a version of Space Invaders to load test the AN/UYK-43 computers.
    I have also noticed that all of my laptops (I have a brand new Toshiba dual core, an older Toshiba single core, plus 2 Dell dual core machines) have significantly shorter battery life when I play Company of Heroes than when I am just reading e-mail or surfing the 'Net.  I have also noticed the same behavior when I play games on my 4th gen Touch and my iPhone 4.
    The fact is, iOS 5 did make some major improvements as well as adding some nice functionality like iMessage, wireless synch, and such, but the down side is that depending on how you use the device battery life can be shorter that what you may have experienced with pervious versions of iOS.  Its just the nature of the beast...
    We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming.....
    Oh John....  Oh Marsha.....

    Your Windows friend should ask in a Windows forum why his email client won't open attached jpg files. We have no idea what email client he is using or how his Windows security is configured.

    I have photoshop elements 11 installed on my desktop pc, I want to install it on my laptop as well, I read that it can be installed on two systems, but I get a message taht the redemption code has been used by another ID, please help

    A redemption code can only be redeemed once.  It is used to acquire a serial number. The serial number is what you need to activate the installed software.  If you did not keep the serial number when you first installed, you might still be able to find it in your Adobe account online if you registered the software.
