  • Reference
Module:
ConfigurationManager

Create an OS version condition for a task sequence step.

Syntax

New-CMTSStepConditionOperatingSystem
   -SupportedPlatform <IResultObject[]>
   [-DisableWildcardHandling]
   [-ForceWildcardHandling]
   [-WhatIf]
   [-Confirm]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

Use this cmdlet to create an OS version condition object for a task sequence step. Then use one of the New-CMTSStep* or Set-CMTSStep* cmdlets with the Condition or AddCondition parameters. For example, Set-CMTSStepApplyDataImage.

For more information, see Use the task sequence editor: Conditions.

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 uses the Get-CMSupportedPlatform cmdlet to create a supported platform object that includes Windows 10 and Windows 11 64-bit clients. Next, it uses that object to create the task sequence step condition object.

It then uses the Set-CMTSStepSetDynamicVariable cmdlet to add this condition object to the Set Dynamic Variables step of the Default OS deployment task sequence.

$osPlat = Get-CMSupportedPlatform -Name "*Windows 1? (64-bit) Client" -Fast

$condition = New-CMTSStepConditionOperatingSystem -SupportedPlatform $osPlat

$tsNameOsd = "Default OS deployment"
$tsStepNameDynVar = "Set Dynamic Variables"

Set-CMTSStepSetDynamicVariable -TaskSequenceName $tsNameOsd -StepName $tsStepNameDynVar -AddCondition $condition

This sample script creates the following condition on the step:

Operating System equals All Windows 10 (64-bit) Or All Windows 11 (64-bit)

Parameters

-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

-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

-SupportedPlatform

Specify one or more supported platform objects for this condition. To get this object, use the Get-CMSupportedPlatform cmdlet.

Type:IResultObject[]
Aliases:SupportedPlatforms
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
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

For more information on this return object and its properties, see SMS_TaskSequence_OSConditionGroup server WMI class.

To create an OS language condition, use the New-CMTSStepConditionOperatingSystemLanguage cmdlet.
