Description

This cmdlet creates a new Restart Computer 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: Restart Computer.

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 creates an object for the Restart Computer step to restart to Windows PE after 10 seconds.

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

$step = New-CMTSStepReboot -Name "Restart in Windows PE" -MessageTimeout 10 -NotificationMessage "The computer is restarting!" -RunAfterRestart WinPE

$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.

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. When you enable this option, if the step fails, the task sequence continues.

Type:	SwitchParameter

Type:	SwitchParameter
Aliases:	DisableThisStep
Position:	Named
Default value:	None

-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

-MessageTimeout

Specify the number of seconds before the destination computer restarts. The default is 60 seconds.
