Put in a postinstallation task, BAT script:
shutdown -r -t 0 -f -c "Rebooting Machine"
(or whichever switches you like).

We have up to 6 reboots in some of our builds. I think we also had a problem with things executing too quickly after the reboot, so after every reboot we have a 60 second pause using sleep.exe from the Server 2003 Resource Kit.

Edit - if I wasn't clear, just add the reboot task in your list, then the wait task, then whatever is after it will continue to execute in order.

This is awesome, thank you. The reboot helps, however now there is a prompt to select the network, home or work, despite that my unattend.xml has the "Work" network configured, and worked prior to adding reboots
So I am not sure why this happened by just adding a reboot.
My postinstall tasks are this order;
MS Office
Visio Viewer
rename WS to "company-serialnum"
Set homepage reg file
Flash
Adobe Reader
Milestones Viewer
.NET 1.1 for KBOX client
KBOX Agent Client
Shutdown 1 30 sec delay
BGInfo (test install)
Shutdown 2 30 sec delay
Shutdown 3 30 sec delay

i have had to move sep to different parts of the post install task to get it to work right, try moving it and put a long reboot task i have 6 min for kbox deployment cleanup

Just curious TJSmithCIQ/mlathrop are you guys doing a scripted install of windows 7? or xp?
Or are these images you have uploaded?

EDIT**** i didnt think it was possible to chain reboots into the post install task process.
If its possible i would certainly love to know how.

Is it possible to reboot during post install tasks? and have post install tasks continue on?

I haven't been able to successfully chain reboots into the postinstall process (scripted Win7) It causes weird anomalies - script fails to choose network, other post install tasks fail.

Thanks for the response mlathrop.
For a moment there i got excited and thought it were possible.
