Description

This cmdlet creates a new Setup Windows and ConfigMgr step object. Then use the Add-CMTaskSequenceStep cmdlet to add the step to a task sequence. For more information on this step, see About task sequence steps: Setup Windows and ConfigMgr.

Note

Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.

Examples

Example 1

This example first creates an object for the Setup Windows and ConfigMgr step, using the package with ID XYZ0002.

It then gets a task sequence object, and adds this new step to the task sequence at index 11.

$step = New-CMTSStepSetupWindowsAndConfigMgr -Name "Setup Windows and ConfigMgr" -PackageId "XYZ0002"

$tsNameOsd = "Default OS deployment"
$tsOsd = Get-CMTaskSequence -Name $tsNameOsd -Fast

$tsOsd | Add-CMTaskSequenceStep -Step $step -InsertStepStartIndex 11

Parameters

-Condition

Specify a condition object to use with this step. To get this object, use one of the task sequence condition cmdlets. For example, Get-CMTSStepConditionVariable.

Type:IResultObject[]
Aliases:Conditions
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:cf
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ContinueOnError

Add this parameter to enable the step option Continue on error.

Specifically with this step, if there's an error, the task sequence fails whether or not this setting is enabled.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Description

Specify an optional description for this task sequence step.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Disable

Add this parameter to disable this task sequence step.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:DisableThisStep
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-DisableWildcardHandling

This parameter treats wildcard characters as literal character values. You can't combine it with ForceWildcardHandling.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ForceWildcardHandling

This parameter processes wildcard characters and may lead to unexpected behavior (not recommended). You can't combine it with DisableWildcardHandling.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-InstallationProperty

The task sequence step automatically specifies site assignment and the default configuration. Use this parameter to specify any additional installation properties to use when you install the client. To enter multiple installation properties, separate them with a space.

Type:String
Aliases:InstallationProperties
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Name

Specify a name for this step to identify it in the task sequence.

Type:String
Aliases:StepName
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-PackageId

Specify the package ID of the the Configuration Manager client installation package to use with this step. This value is a standard package ID, for example XYZ0002.

Type:String
Aliases:ClientPackageId
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-PreproductionPackageId

Specify the package ID of the pre-production client installation package to use with this step.

If there's a pre-production client package available, and the computer is a member of the piloting collection, the task sequence uses this package instead of the production client package. The pre-production client is a newer version for testing in the production environment.

Type:String
Aliases:PreproductionClientPackageId
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet doesn't run.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:wi
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

Inputs

None

Outputs

IResultObject
