Hi Michelle- if you are using the Autopilot into co-management, you can use the ProvisionTS switch to use a CM task sequence. But for traditional Autopilot, I'd love to get your need for requiring apps to install in a specific order, and why dependencies don't satisfy that need.

Many reasons: (1) (for example), we use a script to remove the pre-installed versions of Office on MS Surfaces, which needs to run before we install the version we want. (2) makes troubleshooting trickier if apps etc. are installed in a random order. (3) the only way to install apps during Device ESP is by assigning them to a device, and assign to a user to install during User ESP. With a Config Mgr TS we don't have to assign apps to devices/users. This has a knock-on effect for us when we need to change apps/scripts deployed via AP, as they then deploy to all the 2,000+ live built computers.
