Hi All,

Has anyone does some short of customization for OS deployment task sequence like below.

Requirement -

Single task sequence to be used for known[existing system in sccm] and unknown[bare metal] computers
deployment should capture the system name and model and match with SCCM and then start the OS deployment. if System exist in SCCM and agent is installed then it should reinstalled the OS along with all the applications and keep the same host name. If system doesn't exist in SCCM then it should do the fresh installation
Task sequence must check the model number before applying drivers once found the match then it should apply the correct drivers. like if there are 4 different model then task sequence must apply the drivers related to the specific model.

Totally doable.
If you are moving from Windows 10 to Windows 11, you can do In-place upgrade TS. Otherwise I don't see any point of capturing and re-installing OS on existing systems. Sure, there is UMST from 2012 to capture data, but it is a pain the ass today.
Doable with WMI filters.

Is it possible to share some document or technical steps to follow and configure TS as per requirement.

for 1. need, the idea is to have a custom Collection which includes both Unknown computers and existing systems. You need then to be carefull that you will not clean your existing systems, so keep it limited only for PXE.

For others, if you are new for SCCM, you should maybe follor Nial Bready and Johan Advirdmark blogs in addition with Microsoft Learning content. I can't point you directly to the instructions you need.

Hi @Rakesh Kumar,

Please help describe your requirement for more details.

1, For existing system, you want to upgrade their OS version, right? If so, what version of the OS are these machines using? What version do you plan to upgrade them to?

Task sequence must check the model number before applying drivers once found the match then it should apply the correct drivers. like if there are 4 different model then task sequence must apply the drivers related to the specific model.

2, For apply driver, the step of SCCM task sequence Auto Apply Drivers may can help you.
