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 ConvertTo-SecureString built-in cmdlet to create a secure string for the user password. This method is used here as a simple example, but not the most secure since the plain text password is in the script. For more information on this cmdlet and other options, see ConvertTo-SecureString.
The next line creates an object for the Apply Network Settings step, using the secure string password variable.
It then gets a task sequence object, and adds this new step to the task sequence at index 11.
Specify a network adapter settings object to add to this step. To get this object, use the New-CMTSNetworkAdapterSetting cmdlet.
