Thanks for this, i'm seeing the same behaviour. I've no idea why at this stage. If I run the script manually, or even a minute or so after all the apps have been installed it doesn't seem to do it.

I'm tempted to just add a longer delay at this point.

@theneiljohnson thanks for confirming its not just me :)
I see the same behaviour, if I run it manually I don't get a kernal panic.

When you add a longer delay, do you still get a kernal panic?
I believe there is a 30 second sleep already in place, but the strange thing is the kernal panic happens immediately after the last app gets installed.

Hi both,
Following this issue as i too am experiencing the same issue.
I tried adding a longer delay but it didn't make a difference on my end unfortunately.

I did notice the reboot changed with the delay and went from 10 seconds to 60 seconds with no success, after the last app was installed.

I have also noticed this issue. It happened during my training videos I was making for our helpdesk. It hasn't happened since and I was using that Mac for a good while before enrolling into Intune and I was using it for a good while before applying dock config whilst enrolled as well.
