I recently added the Java 7 package to install Java 7 during first run rather than during imaging. Ever since I have done that the settings I have specified in my AD binding have not been applying successfully. The log shows the following:

This looks to me like the binding task is getting halfway through the binding process before a reboot and then it tries to resume on startup, but the computer is already technically bound even though none of the extra settings have applied. Is there a way I can give the AD binding longer to complete or is something else maybe going on that I am missing?

Josh, you may want to move the binding to a script, rather than allow jamf to do it. That's how I'm handling it. You can specify the priority of the script to run "at reboot." At reboot scripts run after all packages that must be installed to the boot drive at imaging time.
