wait "task" in imaging job while first time login performed?

[Iskyfly]

I have an imaging job for a non AD PC that basically goes like this;

BEGIN JOB

1 -TASK ghost / image PC

2 -TASK power control restart (let windows configure itself)

3 -TASK autologin script to perform first time user login 

4 -TASK power control restart

(pc now logs in and does first time user login processing) 

5 -TASK disable autologin

6 -TASK power control restart

7 -TASK install software

END JOB

In between task 4 and 5, is there a way to put in a pause for 5 minutes while Windows does first time user login processing? The way it currently goes, is that when the Altiris client starts up, it reboots in the middle of first time user login processing.

Thank you!

You could run a Powershell script using the Start-Sleep command?

Having said that, there are probably better ways of determining when a machine is ready to continue building after a user has logged in.

Start-Sleep -Seconds 300
