Completing a Task Sequence when the network is not available

Hi All,

I have a task sequence running on Windows 8.1 x64 which uninstalls a piece of software then reboots the machine. Uninstalling the software makes the network unavailable.

The problem I am facing is the task sequence runs extremely slow once the network becomes unavailable. Logs indicate it is the client is trying to connect to the management point and timing out which is making it run slowly.

I have three final steps, one which runs only if a Condition is met where the uninstall has failed. Another two 'Disable Bitlocker' and 'Reboot Machine'
It seems to take approximately 5 minutes for each of these steps to run.
I have ran the task sequence without uninstalling the software, thus meaning the network is available, and the task sequence runs at expected speed.

Does anyone have suggestion on how I can make the task sequence complete quicker when the network is unavailable?
