Hi Dustin,

The At Reboot scripts are cached locally with in the 'FirstRun' startupitem resource folder. If the FirstRun fails to get to the end at some point it won't be able to remove itself. The logs will be your guide here really.

Hello,
I have a weird scenario for everyone.    We imaged some 30 teacher machines about a week ago, all intel iMacs with the same config.     2 out of those are repeatedly running the scripts that are set in that config to run after reboot.     Unfortunately I'm tied to my desk today and waiting for go ahead from the users to remote in and check out their console logs and such so I'm trying to figure out ahead of time what can be causing this.
The best I've come up with so far is that Casper may cache scripts to be run after reboot locally like cached packages are stored in /Library/Application Support/JAMF/Waiting Room.   But I'm not sure on that.    Anyone else encounter anything like this before?    Am I way off?   I originally thought the scripts executed from the server, and never really dug into it.    Luckily since it's the end of the year we could just re-image them again in a few days, but I'd kind of like to know what caused the issue for future reference.

Thanks in advance for any help.
