Restart a computer during a policy

I need a solution

We are trying to deploy IE11

Due to not using the Patch Management side of Alitiris yet we are trying to deploy using either a Task or Policy, as of right now we are usinf a Task.

I would like to switch to a Policy but I'm having big issue trying to restart a computer at the start of the poilicy and not triggering a fail of some kind. I could use the "restart on suscess" but as this is a multi step process and I would like a couple of restarts these can misfire.

Also if the install fails I don't want the policy to just keep restarting the policy so a restart in the vbscript would be the best option for me.

In the past when I have tried this I have either had

The job that triggers the restart fails or the job afterwards fails.

The reason for moving to a policy is the size of the deployment and number of smaller branch computers, I need to locally prestage the files which a Policy works great at.

this is kind of what I would like the policy to execute like

Restart computer

Install preupdates

Restart computer

Install Internet Explorer

Restart computer

Install Post updates

Restart computer

Any ideas how to achive this
