There's nothing I can see that's obviously wrong above, as it's essentially what we use in our labs (though we don't do the " - install" portion because we aren't forcing hands-off completely). Might be something in the JET-generated config that's reverting it back off the console. You'd best follow up with JET experts on that, though.
