After XP OS deployment command "wmic exit" hangs

After OS deployment with Altiris I run some batch files one of the batch file has to do some wmic commands and I run:

WMIC EXIT

in order to start the wmic install before executing the commands.

If I deploy with my old setup Remote Installation Services this runs just fine if I deploy with Altiris using deployanywhere it hangs at this command.

Does anyone know why or what I can do about this?

Update:

I have found it still does not work if not using deployanywhere.  Thing is this used to work and the only thing that changed that I can find now was the MP1 install.
