Description

This cmdlet creates a new Apply Data Image 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: Apply Data Image.

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-CMOperatingSystemImage cmdlet to get an object for the data image package. It saves this object in the $pkgDataImg variable. The next step creates an object for the Apply Data Image step, using the $pkgDataImg object as the image package.

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

$pkgDataImg = Get-CMOperatingSystemImage -Name "Data image"
$step = New-CMTSStepApplyDataImage -Name "Apply data image" -ImagePackage $pkgDataImg -ImagePackageIndex 1

$tsName = "Custom task sequence"
$ts = Get-CMTaskSequence -Name $tsName -Fast

$ts | 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.

Type:IResultObject[]
Aliases:Conditions
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-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

-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
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Description

Specify an optional description for this task sequence step.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Destination

Specify the location where you want to apply this data image. If you don't specify this parameter, the default is NextAvailableFormattedPartition.

  • NextAvailableFormattedPartition: Use the next sequential partition not already targeted by an Apply Operating System or Apply Data Image step in this task sequence.

  • SpecificDiskAndPartition: Specify the disk number with the DestinationDisk parameter and the partition number with the DestinationPartition parameter.

  • SpecificLogicalDriverLetter: Use the DestinationDriveLetter parameter to specify the logical drive letter assigned to the partition by Windows PE. This drive letter can be different from the drive letter assigned by the newly deployed OS.

  • LogicalDriverLetterInVariable: Use the DestinationVariable parameter to specify the task sequence variable containing the drive letter assigned to the partition by Windows PE. This variable is typically set with the DiskNumberVariable parameter of the Set-CMTSStepPartitionDisk or New-CMTSStepPartitionDisk cmdlets for the Format and Partition Disk task sequence step.

Type:DestinationType
Accepted values:NextAvailableFormattedPartition, SpecificDiskAndPartition, SpecificLogicalDriverLetter, LogicalDriverLetterInVariable
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-DestinationDisk

When you use -Destination SpecificDiskAndPartition, use this parameter to specify the disk number. Specify an integer from 0 to 99. Also use the DestinationPartition parameter.

Type:Int32
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-DestinationDriveLetter

When you use -Destination SpecificLogicalDriverLetter, use this parameter to specify the logical drive letter. Specify a drive letter from C to Z.

Type:String
Aliases:DestinationLogicalDrive
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-DestinationPartition

When you use -Destination SpecificDiskAndPartition, use this parameter to specify the partition number. Specify an integer from 1 to 99. Also use the DestinationDisk parameter.

Type:Int32
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-DestinationVariable

When you use -Destination LogicalDriverLetterInVariable, use this parameter to specify the task sequence variable with the logical drive letter. The variable name needs to alphanumeric without spaces and fewer than 256 characters.

Type:String
Aliases:DestinationVariableName
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Disable

Add this parameter to disable this task sequence step.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:DisableThisStep
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

-ImagePackage

Specify a data image package object. The step applies the data from this image. Use the ImagePackageIndex parameter to set the image index.

To get this object, use the Get-CMOperatingSystemImage cmdlet.

Type:IResultObject
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ImagePackageIndex

Specify an integer value of the image index. Use this parameter with the ImagePackage parameter.

Type:Int32
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Name

Specify a name for this step to identify it in the task sequence.

Type:String
Aliases:StepName
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

-WipePartition

This setting is enabled by default, which deletes all content on the partition before applying the image.

Set this parameter to $false to not delete the prior contents of the partition. This action can be used to apply more content to a previously targeted partition.

Type:Boolean
Aliases:WipePartitionBeforeApplyImage
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

Inputs

None

Outputs

IResultObject
