Essentially, I need Job 1 to complete before I can start Job 2 as a need the result of Job 1, for Job2
Jobs in sequential order

Re: Jobs in sequential order
Hello, sorry for that.
I have a button-startjob
There are two jobs within the click event
Job 1 gathers the username
Job 2 gathers their networked printers
I would usually not use a job, but I'm developing an application for VPN users and the latency some of them experience causes the application to freeze.

Re: Jobs in sequential order
we're hiring wfh tech support people, whose customers will always be in the office. To prevent the application from freezing, we're thinking running the jobs in order, instead of all at the same time.
So I just the button click to do:
Job1, once that is complete do Job 2

Re: Jobs in sequential order
I cannot figure out how to do it. I've seen an example on this board but I cannot find it.

Re: Jobs in sequential order
I just changed the jobtracker tick event
- $timerJobTracker_Tick={
- Update-JobTracker
- If ($JobTrackerList.Count -eq 0)
- {
- Add-JobTracker -Name 'JobNameGetPrinters' .........
- }}

Re: Jobs in sequential order
That did work until I got in the office and I noticed that it just keeps running the job lol even if I put stop-job $job at the last line

Re: Jobs in sequential order
I just added this to the end of the job that gets the users name... everything works perfectly
