Description

Applies to version 2006 and later. Create a task sequence as an app model deployment type. For more information, see Task sequence deployment type.

This cmdlet has similar syntax as the MSI deployment type cmdlet Add-CMMsiDeploymentType. The primary differences are the following parameters:

• -InstallTaskSequenceId <string> (required): the ID of the task sequence to install the app

• -UninstallTaskSequenceId <string> (optional): the ID of the task sequence to uninstall the app

These two parameters relate to the deployment type task sequence options. They replace the -InstallCommand and -UninstallCommand parameters on the MSI cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1: Add a task sequence deployment type

This example adds the task sequence ID ABC001EB to the app CBI. It also adds the uninstall task sequence ID ABC00378.

Add-CMTaskSequenceDeploymentType -ApplicationName "CBI" -DeploymentTypeName "Complex install" -Comment "New Deployment Type" -InstallTaskSequenceId "ABC001EB" -UninstallTaskSequenceId "ABC00378" -ScriptLanguage "PowerShell" -ScriptText "dir"

Parameters

-AddDetectionClause

Specify an array of detection method clauses for this deployment type. To create a detection clause, use one of the following cmdlets:

• New-CMDetectionClauseDirectory
• New-CMDetectionClauseFile
• New-CMDetectionClauseRegistryKey
• New-CMDetectionClauseRegistryKeyValue
• New-CMDetectionClauseWindowsInstaller

Save the output of these cmdlets into a variable. Then specify those variables as an array for this parameter. For example, -AddDetectionClause $clauseFile1,$clauseFile2,$clauseFile3.

You can also use Get-CMDeploymentTypeDetectionClause to get an existing detection clause from another application.

Type:	DetectionClause[]
Aliases:	AddDetectionClauses
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

Aliases:	AddLanguages, Languages, Language
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
