Task 7 in the job is a Reboot. By looking ahead at task 8, the Deployment Server directs the
Deployment Agent to set the one-time boot EV to PXE and then reboot. When the targets reboot
to PXE, the PXE Server sends it the WinPE 64-bit image.
This reboot is mandatory so that the subsequent file copy tasks are able to use the new hard
drive.

When the Deployment Agent connects to the Deployment Server, task 8 of the job begins to
execute. Since tasks 8 through 12 all run in WinPE 64-bit without a Reboot task, they execute
sequentially while in WinPE 64-bit.
