How to check if it successfully finished all components in a baseline

I’m setting up a set of baselines for new computer builds, once the computer is built they set a registry entry called “HKLM\SOFTWARE\BigFix\EnterpriseClient\Settings\Client\BUILD\NewBuild”

to “1” once this happens I automatically push out a app that I wrote that asks for several options, Builder Name/RFC Number/Location/Domain/Admin user/Admin Password/prod or non prod/and then what type of software gets installed on the system, such as backup software and all other software, all this information is set in the registry. Once the program ends it sets the NEWBUILD key to “2”

another baseline then runs once its a “2” and installs all the software per the choices made by the builder. this is where im struggling…

I just need make sure that every component has completed 100% successfully in the baseline then I want to clear the NEWBUILD key which will then no longer be relevant to any of my Build baselines

and the machine should be completely built…

Hey Mark,

The typical thing we do in this situation is to have the last component of the baseline update the value.

Make sure to mark the baseline action no to “continue of error”.

But if any component fails I dont want to update the value, is there a way to query through all the components

Mark, it sounds like you want to query other baseline/actions within an action. I don’t think there’s a way to do that… could be wrong though.

Ben’s suggestion is probably the best solution. When deploying the action, don’t check “continue on error” so that the baseline stops before getting to the action that clears NEWBUILD.
