Putting this application in a separate task sequence to be called by ProvisionTS is a convenient way of working around this sort of application snag.ĥ) A baremetal build can compartmentalized so that there is a core build - critical to getting a user up and running and a less critical subsection of the business build. But then we find the application is still doing something, and that something interferes with the build and causes a failure. We have all seen this one where the application feeds back an install complete status and the build then moves on to the next step in the task sequence.

Nested and independent task sequences are a convenient way of achieving this: and it is clear which entity is responsible for a build failure after investigating which of the task sequences did fail.Ĥ) Those applications whose completion time is not really a completion time. Install once more and the tune up task sequence applies a company standard of applications and configurations.ģ) Delegation of responsibility - quite often a company will want to delegate part, but not all of the build to an external IT management company. And in quick time as well.Ģ) Client Reinstall - Uninstall clients and de-register from SCCM. All machines to run the task sequence and all machines to be brought up to a company standard. There are a number of clear advantages to this feature as it stands, and a number of possibilities to build on the feature.ġ) Tune up Task Sequence - If SCCM is being implemented first time in an organisation or in a department, client push discovery alongside and client push installation, along with ProvisionIT allows a true up. When the CM client is installed, the Task Sequence of the deployment ID given to this switch is initiated as soon as the client has successfully registered to its Configuration Manager site. In Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (Build 2002 and above) Microsoft has also implemented the ProvisionTS switch as an option for the ccmsetup.exe Configuration Manager Client installation file. Thankfully Microsoft implemented nested Task Sequences also in build 1710. One of the features I liked about Ivanti was the ability to nest task sequences so that a task sequence for a set of applications could be called from with a base task sequence. My specialty has always been Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, and before that it was called SCCM, and before that it was called SMS - and to learn about a new product is always very interesting.

It was an interesting project in itself and I was grateful to have been given the opportunity to learn about a new systems management product. Some time back I put a Windows 10 build together for a large company using the Ivanti landesk deployment product.
