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 uses the Get-CMOperatingSystemImage cmdlet to get an object for the data image package. It saves this object in the $pkgDataImg variable. The next step creates an object for the Apply Data Image step, using the $pkgDataImg object as the image package.
It then gets a task sequence object, and adds this new step to the task sequence at index 11.
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.

-Destination
Specify the location where you want to apply this data image. If you don't specify this parameter, the default is NextAvailableFormattedPartition.
NextAvailableFormattedPartition: Use the next sequential partition not already targeted by an Apply Operating System or Apply Data Image step in this task sequence.
SpecificDiskAndPartition: Specify the disk number with the DestinationDisk parameter and the partition number with the DestinationPartition parameter.
SpecificLogicalDriverLetter: Use the DestinationDriveLetter parameter to specify the logical drive letter assigned to the partition by Windows PE. This drive letter can be different from the drive letter assigned by the newly deployed OS.
LogicalDriverLetterInVariable: Use the DestinationVariable parameter to specify the task sequence variable containing the drive letter assigned to the partition by Windows PE. This variable is typically set with the DiskNumberVariable parameter of the Set-CMTSStepPartitionDisk or New-CMTSStepPartitionDisk cmdlets for the Format and Partition Disk task sequence step.
When you use -Destination SpecificDiskAndPartition, use this parameter to specify the disk number. Specify an integer from 0 to 99. Also use the DestinationPartition parameter.
