Description

This cmdlet creates a new Run Command Line 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: Run Command Line.

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 creates an object for the Run Command Line step. It specifies the command line and a package to use.

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

$step = New-CMTSStepRunCommandLine -Name "Run Command Line" -CommandLine "cmd.exe /c copy Jan98.dat c:\sales\Jan98.dat" -PackageId "XYZ00821"

$tsNameOsd = "Default OS deployment"
$tsOsd = Get-CMTaskSequence -Name $tsNameOsd -Fast

$tsOsd | Add-CMTaskSequenceStep -Step $step -InsertStepStartIndex 11

Parameters

-CommandLine

Specify the command line that the task sequence runs. Include file name extensions, for example, .exe. Include all required settings files and command-line options.

For example: cmd.exe /c copy Jan98.dat c:\sales\Jan98.dat

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:Named

-DisableWildcardHandling

This parameter treats wildcard characters as literal character values. You can't combine it with ForceWildcardHandling.

Parameter properties

Type:SwitchParameter
Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:Named
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:False
Value from pipeline by property name:False

-DisableWow64Redirection

By default, 64-bit operating systems use the WOW64 file system redirector to run command lines. This behavior is to properly find 32-bit versions of OS executables and libraries. Add this parameter to disable the use of the WOW64 file system redirector. Windows runs the command using native 64-bit versions of OS executables and libraries. This option has no effect when running on a 32-bit OS.

Parameter properties

Type:SwitchParameter
Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False
Aliases:DisableRedirectionFor64BitFileSystem

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:Named
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:False

Value from remaining arguments:False

-ForceWildcardHandling

This parameter processes wildcard characters and may lead to unexpected behavior (not recommended). You can't combine it with DisableWildcardHandling.

Parameter properties

Type:SwitchParameter
Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:Named

Parameter sets

ByName
Position:Named
Mandatory:True
Value from pipeline:False

-OutputVariableName

Specify the name of a custom task sequence variable. When you use this parameter, the step saves the last 1000 characters of the command output to the variable.

Parameter properties

Type:String
Default value:None

-PackageId

When you specify files or programs on the command line that don't already exist on the destination computer, use this parameter to specify the package ID for a package that has the necessary files. The package doesn't require a program. If the specified files exist on the destination computer, this option isn't required.

This value is a standard package ID, for example XYZ00821.
