Enhancement: manage failed deployments

[ecanault]

Hi,

In relation with #15, it should be nice if Setup Manager could retry automatically failed items.
What about adding a new boolean preference key like retryAfterFailure?
The "retry" routine could be based on 2 conditions:

• retryAfterFailure set to true
• Missing .JamfSetupEnrollmentDone file

Thanks,
Emmanuel Canault

Instead of a simple boolean, the following would be nice:

• retries Integer. Indicates how many retries to attempt before failing
• failureAction int/enum/string? Indicates what to do if retries has been attempted but failed. Options should include:
  • Abort - Fail the setup and leave system in a dirty half-setup state. Useful if a critical component fails to install. If in this state, we should attempt again next reboot or something like that.
  • Continue - Log and notify the user via icon, but continue setup. Useful if a non-essential app fails to install.

@Hobadee if the choice is continue... why validate at all?

im interested in this feature too. Would be nice to have the option to go back to a specific point when something failed. Example: back to the user input or any other action.
