Scripted Install

hello, 

Is there anyway to find out what the name of the scripted install that was used, 

I want to be able to use a ps script that can detect that and then install what is necessary for that scripted install

I don't believe that there are any files stored on the local device that would indicate this. It would be easy enough to create a post install task that does, however. You can try to detect which scripted install was used by looking in the c:\kace\engine\tasks.xml file. Alternatively, if you don't have that kind of scripting experience, you create a post-install task per scripted install that places a marker file on the computer.

The bigger question is why not just include the necessary software installations with the scripted install as post-install tasks?

I wanted to create a script that would detect the Scripted Install name so it Can name the computer accordingly and then join the domain and put in OU based on the name it has, so I can just  apply the Post-install task to "Rename-Join Computer" to all my scripted installs,  but it looks like I have to create a script for each Scripted Install name.
