Is there a way to make policies sequential? I would like to setup a policy to run that is triggered by an earlier policy being successfully run on a given system.
for example: A policy set to run once on all machines running 10.5 (members set with a smart group) to deploy a JPG that will be used as a desktop and login screen. Once that policy runs, I would like to be able to set another policy to run that only triggers on 10.5 machines that already have the JPG payload in place.

Why not use the same policy to execute both tasks??

Huh.. I dunno. I was concerned with duplicating work as some of the machines were already done. But the overhead of re-doing a handful of systems is nothing compared to knowing they all get touched...

Not sure if this will help but I'll pass this along any way. At one point I
had a need to run multiple policies in a particular order. To do so I relied
on naming convention used for policy names (i.e. 1, 2, 3, etc.) and how each
policy was triggered.
