NMDS_COMPLETE

 

  • Nomad PBA Task Sequence steps are not designed for use with offline USMT or WinPE

  • -NMDS_POLL command-line option for the NomadPackageLocator.exe tool cannot be used in WinPE

  • -NMDS_<command> command-line options for NomadBranch.exe have not been tested in WinPE, so their behavior may be unpredictable in that environment.

The NMDS_COMPLETE argument is available on the NomadPackageLocator.exe (recommended) or NomadBranch.exe service argument-line. It indicates that all user data has been copied to the PBA share and the connection can be closed. When run, it disconnects from its associated share and fixes its contents for the duration defined in the Nomad PostCompleteTimeoutHours registry value on the device where the share is hosted. It is only for use within a task sequence.

NMDS_COMPLETE takes the following format:

Copy 
NomadPackageLocator.exe -NMDS_COMPLETE,<name>

or

Copy 
NomadBranch.exe -NMDS_COMPLETE,<name>

Using the following parameter:
