When upgrading from a previous version of this product using Retain Dell Deployment ToolKit (DTK) utilities and Windows PE drivers, existing task sequences that has any Dell hardware configuration custom actions will not be automatically updated. In order for these task sequences to function correctly, each task sequence action that uses one of these custom actions must be opened and edited. For example, add a . to the Description and then remove it.This enables the Apply button, which will refresh the properties of the custom action and save any new
data or formatting required to function with the new version.

2) Select the "Package" by clicking the "Browse" button and select "Dell PowerEdge Custom Reboot Script 1.2" package under "Dell PowerEdge Deployment".
Note: Any new task sequence created AFTER the upgrade will work normally.
