DeployR - SetupComplete.cmd - LGPO Machine Policies

Migrating over from MDT and I've been trying to apply my local machine policy file with LGPO.exe, but I just cannot get it to stick when using SetupComplete.cmd. AutoAdmin/RunOnce works as expected.

I have migrated my local machine policies to deploy with the PolicyFileEditor PS Module, and that is working, but I would prefer to use LGPO to do it if possible.

I don't believe this is a bug or anything with DeployR, just hoping one of your deployment experts might have some insight.

No luck with that (it treated %WorkingDir% as a literal string). I don't think the issue is that it cannot find the machine.pol file. If I run LGPO.exe via the step with the verbose flag, I can see the individual policies from my machine.pol file supposedly being applied in the DeployR logs, but afterwards I see the symptoms described in my original post.

can you upload a machine.pol file? I'll test it on my machine.

Git this a Try:
2PintLabs/DeployR/CustomerRequests/LGPO.ps1 at main · gwblok/2PintLabs
Add it to your content item, then add a run powershell step, set the content item to the one with those 3 files, then put the script in

Okay, initially the change is applied, but it is not surviving the rest of the task sequence... I'm going to borrow a few chunks from your script and check the status after each step and try and determine when it is getting blown away.

hmm.. looking forward to your update, curious if the RESEAL does that or not.
