These are the things to watch for when creating a new lab image. You should be able to answer each of these yes or okay. Details will vary a little between intro and advanced labs.
Italicized items have been "puppetized".
Checklist for image:
- Tivoli Endpoint Management Client
- Puppet client
set puppet service to Automatic (Delayed Start) and under Recovery tab set recovery options to attempt restart twice with 5 minute delay. (The puppet service doesn't start successfully on Windows 10 and the OptiPlex 7020).
