WINPE / Task Sequence Wizard

Question

I am trying to figure out a way to preconfigure some of the task sequence wizard network settings.  I would like to be able to populate most of the network settings except the IP address and default gateway, along with the proxy server and proxy server
exceptions.  I tried using netsh but the winhttp is not part of the winpe image.
Any help would be great.

You have to do this with prestart function of the boot image and a script. Basically you have to do a script, here's a .vbs example:
Dim oTSEnv
Set oTSEnv = CreateObject("Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment")
oTSEnv("OSDAdapter0SubnetMask") = "255.255.255.0"
oTSEnv("OSDAdapter0Gateways") = "192.168.1.1"
oTSEnv("OSDAdapter0DNSDomain") = "domain.com"
oTSEnv("OSDAdapter0DNSServerList") = "192.168.1.100"
Save that to a .vbs -file, name as you please.  Configure the boot image you're using to use the script as a source and for the command add: cscript yourscript.vbs
I'm not 100% does the method work, but I would assume it will. Don't know though are the values updated to the GUI (the picture you posted), but you can check this with hitting F8 (assuming you have the cmd support enabled on your boot image) and entering
ipconfig -all ...if the values show up there, they are setted and should work just like they are when typing them in the configuration window you posted.
