Passing sensitive inforamtion to a task sequence
Hi,
I need to run an executable on my clients so I created a command line task sequence for that. In the command line I have to pass sensitive data (passwords for example), but the command line is logged to the smsts.log so the passwords are stored as plain
text on all of the clients.
Is there anyway to prevent the logging of the command line argument?
Can you suggest any other way to achieve my goal?
Thanks a lot
Hi,
Have you considered using a package/program instead of a task sequence to do this? That would get you around smsts.log entirely.
If you must use a task sequence and you're okay with the rather large risk of leaving passwords (albeit encoded) in log files, you could use PowerShell's -EncodedCommand parameter to pass everything in:

How can I stop a task sequence if a custom HTA preflight check fails?
In our currently deployment method, we launch an HTA program before initiating the OSD process. This is only when run from the RAP menu, not via PXE. When a user initiates OSD through that menu, they get a message prompting them to close Outlook, and
a countdown of 5 mins, then OSD starts. They also have the ability to click on an 'OK' button to proceed on their own.
I've created a new script which checks WMI if Outlook and/or OCS are open, and if the machine is running on battery, spit out a "Failed" response and stop the HTA. I've also added a "recheck" button to re-do the check, and an 'OK
button if people jsut want to continue.
I'm curious if there is a way to prevent the task sequence from continuing if any of those conditions arent met. Currently it just pops up and says "Failed, Cannot conitue", but if they close the window, the task sequence thinks the program
has run, and the OSD migration starts. I'd like to be able and get the script to cancel the OSD process if a check fails.
Has anyone had success with this, using WINXP? I'd use the MS pre-flight check but it's only for WIN7.Interesting. Thanks for the response. Is there anybody out there that can assist with VBS part of the solution?
Here's the code I'm working with. Currently the battery piece isnt working as it should but I can figure that our, eventually. I'd like to get Jason's proposed solution in the code. If this isn't the right place, I'll take this somewhere
else.

Wiping a disk with MDT task sequence?
I'm thinking that I could use MDT/WDS to do a secure disk wipe for old computers. Has anyone implemented something like this with MDT?
Take a look at the "Client Replace" Task sequence template supplied with MDT
This Task Sequence is designed to de-commission a client computer, first saving the data to a external network share.
The task sequence also calls the ZTIWipeDisk.wsf script to peform a multi-pass wipe of all partitions.
Then again, if you have machines with sensitive information on them, you should be using disk encryption like Bitlocker to ensure that the data is protected. Simply install a new OS without suspending the old BitLocker protection.

Creative Cloud: "Build" MSI Hangs During SCCM OSD Task Sequence Installation
I wanted to share problem and solution I found when deploying Creative Cloud Packager-created packages/application using SCCM 2012 R2. I encountered this problem packaging this as both a Package and as an Application in SCCM.
When installing the software through SCCM Software Center onto a client, Software Center would close right as the installation of the "Build" folder MSI completed. This is abnormal behavior.
When installing the application as part of an OSD Task Sequence, the software would get installed (as shown by logs) but SCCM would hang forever at the "Installing Application" step.
I tried all sorts of different settings in SCCM and with the MSIEXEC command line and eventually traced it to the Reboot Manager functionality in MSIEXEC that will close and attempt to restart processes using files that the installer needs. Reboot Manager clobbered part of SCCM and in the Task Sequence, the connection between SCCM and the installer was broken.
The solution is to pass the property "MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL=Disable" along the command line when calling MSIEXEC on the Build folder MSI file. This setting disabled Restart Manager so it didn't mess up SCCM. Once I did this, my Software Center installs and OSD Task Sequences ran as intended.
For reference, I used the REBOOT=ReallySuppress property for reboots and let SCCM determine what to do with reboots based on the return code. My testing was done with Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64.Like said, did you configure my proposal: "Configuration Manager client will force a mandatory device
restart" ? After you've configured that, update your deployment type manually and remove the old revisions of the application and try running the TS again. I'm guessing you're a little bit too fast on your doings so the ConfigMgr doesn't play a long very
nicely...
The TS stops because of your Hard Reboot (exit code 1641), I've seen this before and I configured my application so that ConfigMgr client will force device restart and that fixed my problem. Although, also my application is the last one in the TS, but still,
the TS continues after the reboot.
Btw. have you tried changing your command line to:
msiexec.exe /i cd-ord.msi TRANSFORMS=sv-se.mst MVLICENSE_KEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /L*V "%temp%\cdord.log" /qn

Administrator Account Disabled after sysprep and capture task sequence in MDT 2010
Hi
We are currently migrating from Windows XP to windows 7. As part of our migration we have 5 base Images (for different areas of the business)
Here is what we are doing:
Create a reference machine with the source files for windows 7 Pro x86
Install applications as part of the Task sequence to build a reference machine.
Make the updates to the machine - required for the build.
Run the Sysprep and capture template to take the capture of the Reference machine.
Import the Capture into the Operating system folder within MDT2010
Create a task sequecne to deploy the image.
Deploy the Image for Testing.
Deploy the image to a machine
Update the machine with the defects
Re Capture the deployed machine and call it ver2.wim
re deploy ver2.wim
Testers test
Defects logged + additional user settings to be captured in the build
Re capture and sysprep runs says the capture has been succesful however after a reboot the administrator account is disabled.
We cant seem to capture anything from here on in. Nothing has been changed in the unattend.
Autologon is set to enable the administrator account and the password is set to blank as this is then handled by policy when the machine is joined to the domain - we have not enabled the unattended join to the domain at this point in time but it will be
for deploying the image.
Have we got our image strategy wrong? does the same rule apply about sysprep running more than 3 times on a single machine if it is captured and redeployed after a sucessfully sysprep to the same hardware or even different hardware.Hi,
One of the things Sysprep/WAIK do is disable the adminsitrator account.
You mentioned that you are setting the autologing to the administrator account and that you are setting it with a blank password, you can add a simple command in to sysprep's xml to reenable the account:

Enabling Remote Desktop for Windows 7 as a task sequence
Hi there.
I have a task sequence to automate the creation of a base image of Windows 7 x64 Professional. In my base image I would like to have Remote Desktop enabled by default for all users. Is there a command or a script to do this that I can add into my task sequence to make this possible?
Thanks.I have to agree except I can't understand why anyone would use anything other than the unattend.xml. You can do all that plus so much more and it's the way Microsoft provides to do it. This is my complete x64 unattend.xml version but I also have
an x86 version. This should give you some idea of it's capabilities.
Drop the unattend.xml file into a package and reference it in the Task Sequence as shown below. I dropped both my x86 and x64 version of the unattend.xml into the package. I use an OSD HTA menu on the frontend to let helpdesk pick
between x86 and x64. I cropped the picture up a bit and took out company specific info but you should get the idea from the screen captures. This is how I deploy x86 and x64 in a single task sequence. I mark every line with a condition in the task
sequence with (C) which makes it easier to find lines with conditions. I use the condition to assign x86 and x64 software among other things. The selection in the HTA pretty much triggers everything.

Deploy Application During Task Sequence
Hello I have created about 10 packages to be part of our Windows 7 deployment using installshield. The packages install ok manually and through SCCM Client Center. However when I add them to my Task Sequence I get 1603 errors??? Is it a permissions issue.
Some of my packages work some don't?
Here's the log error
Unmatched exit code 1603 is considered and execution failure.
SCCM Deployment TechnicianHi here is the log, any help appreciated. I think its permissions issue but not sure what I can do to remedy it?

OSD HTA and Task Sequence Variable
Have a unusual issue that I cannot seem to find a answer anywhere or if it's even possible. I'm am very aware on how to setup a HTA to pass variables to the Task Sequence but there is a point where I want the HTA to display the current value of a TS Variable(s).
It's a custom variable that is set on a prior step via a VB script. Anyone know of a simple way to call and display the value in HTML/HTA.The variables are available using the same COM Object that you use to set them: Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment. The below VBScript will dump every variable to the screen. You can take this and just add it something you've displayed in your HTA like a static
control or text box.
Set env = CreateObject("Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment")
Wscript.echo "Dump of All Task Sequence Variables"
For Each TSvar In env.GetVariables
Wscript.echo "Variable " & TSvar & " = " & env(TSvar)

SCCM OSD Task sequence variables via Powershell.
Hi,
I am trying to come up with a genernic function to read
SCCM 2012 OSD task sequence variables where
I can pass a varibale name:
Is this the correct way of doing it below?
Thanks,
Ward
# fnRead_SCCM_Variable
function fnRead_SCCM_Variable($sccm_variable)
$tsenv = New-Object -COMObject Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment
$data = $tsenv.Value($sccm_variable)
return $data
$log_path = fnRead_SCCM_Variable "_SMSTSLogPath"That should do the trick. For a nice blog post about the usage of task sequence variables in PowerShell, see:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/mniehaus/archive/2009/09/22/running-powershell-scripts-as-part-of-a-task-sequence.aspx

UDI Wizard - Task Sequence Variables.
Quick question :-)
How are the variables defined in UDI applied during an OS installation ?
And does it take precedence over Collection variables ?
Thx
RgdsNot sure what you about "how they are applied"? Variables, aren't "applied", they are set. Variables simply contain a value and typically "something" uses the value of the variable. Now, what that "something" is depends
upon the variable itself (if anything -- just because a variable has a value doesn't mean anything actually uses that value). And what that "something" does with the value is up to that "something".
Many -- not all task sequence variables -- are used by the various processes/exes that correspond to the various steps in the task sequence. In fact, all the task sequence editor does is set a bunch of variables that are in turn used by the steps in your
task sequence (the task itself is represented by a variable).
Thus, any values you set in the TS editor are set at "design" time and passed to the TS engine when it starts on a target client. Any values set during the execution of the TS are "run" time variables and will over write the value of
any like named variables created before they are set including design time variables since they were set at the beginning of the TS.
Collection variables, like design time variables, are set at the start of the TS execution and thus are over-written by any subsequent setting of the same variable within the execution of the TS.

AD Search plus access to task sequence variables via powershell.
Hi,
I would like to an Active Directory search in a SCCM task sequence.
Now there are two ways I can do this run the powershell script
as a domain user - in the task sequence step.
Or do something fancy in the script itself so the task sequence step
runs as system then does a kind of connect as to do the AD search.
The reason I am asking this is I want to know if the task sequence
variables are available of I run the powershell script as user
account from the task sequence UI.
Or can I only get at them if I am running them as the system context.
Thanks,
WardFirst, answer to your question: if you run an action as a different user in a task sequence (which can only be done after you leave WinPE), you lose the ability to read the task sequence variables. You'll get empty strings for every variable you query.
Now there are several ways of getting this accomplished and it all depends on what stage of the task sequence you want to invoke something like this/what you want to do in AD.
If just want to query AD then, by default, you don't need any special rights as any domain user can do it.
If you want to modify something in AD then you need to be a bit more creative.
1. If you want to run this script after the computer has joined the domain, you don't need to mess around with permissions, as any network actions will be run using the computer object on the network. As far as AD is concerned it will use ComputerName$
account. Though obviously you'll only have read rights.
2. Use the network access account credentials, the username/password for the account are saved onto task sequence variables so you can easily read it. The script itself would still run under the system context, but when you establish a connection
to AD you pass the username/password of the user to connect as. Again, you'd only have read rights.
3. If you want to modify something in AD and the task sequence has already left WinPE, then you can use the 'run as a different user' option in the 'run command' action in the SCCM task sequence. This will force the whole script to run under the context
of the user you specified, which obviously gives you whatever rights you want, including ability to modify something in AD, but you completely lose access to task sequence variables. If you try to query any of them you just get an empty string. A way around
this is to make the variables you know you will need as part of your script in parameters. So for example you call your script as: MyScript.ps1 -MP %_SMSTSMP% to pass the variable _SMSTSMP to your script as a parameter. You can only specify 'run as a different
user' if the task sequence is not in WinPE though.
4. You could use a slight variation of option 2 if you need to modify AD. Instead of using the NAA account use the username/password of an account you specify. The action still runs under system context, but the connection to AD runs with the account
you specify. As a result, this also works in WinPE, and you have no problems accessing task sequence variables. The only problem with this one though... is how to safely pass the credentials over, and that's a big tricky problem.
As you can see, there's several ways of getting things done, but they all have caveats :)
Hope this helps. -
How does a script know its in a task sequence?
I want to pass a variable back to a task sequence from a script. This script is in a package, and could be run as an advert or from the TS. If I try to enable Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment and I'm not in a TS, it will generate an error.
Is there a way I can KNOW that I'm in a TS prior to doing so?The only definitive test that I know of and use in my code is to try and create the COM object and if it fails, I know the script is not being executed in a TS -- you simply need to handle the COM object creation failure gracefully.

Device Fails Task Sequence at the Windows Setup Unattend Step, but No Unattend.xml is Specified
This is the first time i have encountered a laptop straight from OEM with two physical SATA disks (Disk 0 = 256gb SSD, disk 1 = 750GB HDD). [this might not be relevant, but as all other machines are working fine with this TS+WIM, i will mention it.]
During the task sequence, after the WIM is applied and the device reboots, the Windows setup fails and displays a general Unattend error (stating the specialized pass has failed) There is no unattend.xml specified in the apply operating system image step,
so the only unattend.xml is the one generated by the task sequence.
When looking at the C:\Windows\Panther\Unattend\Unattend.xml everything seems OK to me.
Here is the end of the setupact.log

Fully automated Post OS Task Sequence
I'm trying to find a way to deploy a base OS VM from template and then call MDT to finish the config by running a post os task sequence. I'd like to be able to do this by either passing in paramaters or setting environment variables. I'd rather not get into
the mess of using a database or having lots of sections in the customsettings.ini because this will be pretty dynamic. Is there any way to call a specific task sequence after an OS is on a system without using a database or customsettings.ini?
Thanks,
RichYou have missed this thread:
Is there any way to launch a specific task sequence from
the command prompt?
And then I quote Johan Arwidmark's answer:
"Sure, all rules can also be added to the commandline, they are just formatted a little bit differently ( : instead of = for the values) ...
\\MDT01\MDTProduction$\Scripts\litetouch.vbs /TaskSequenceID:<whateverID>
/ Johan"
So you can create a vbs or cmd that calls the task sequence

Task Sequence If Statement for chosen DomainOUs ?
In my CustomSettings.ini I have five different "DomainOUs" lines which prompt whoever is running the Task Sequence to select an Org Unit while they're putting in the Computer Name.
To keep things as simple as possible, I'd like a single Task Sequence that includes multiple "Install Application" packages which get installed based on which OU the machine is in. Can
I use the "Options" tab of my various "Install Application" packages with
an "If Statement" that applies it based on which "DomainOUs" was
chosen earlier?
I know I can make five separate Task Sequences for each OU and have the five different "Install Application" packages in them, but I'd like to avoid that as when I go to
update a common app, I'd have to do that in all five Task Sequences as opposed to one.You can add an XML file with only the Language settings, that will bypass the language selection prompt.
Bear in mind that when you create the answer file with Windows System Image Manager, you have to use the same architecture (64 or 32) as the target image.
