[<CommonParameters>] Description
This cmdlet creates a new Apply OS 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 OS 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 OS image package. It saves this object in the $osImgPkg variable. The next step creates an object for the Apply OS Image step, using the $osImgPkg object as the image package.
It then gets a task sequence object, and adds this new step to the task sequence at index 11.
$osImgPkg = Get-CMOperatingSystemImage -Name "OSImagePkg01"
$step = New-CMTSStepApplyOperatingSystem -Name "Apply OS image" -ImagePackage $osImgPkg -ImagePackageIndex 1
$tsNameOsd = "Default OS deployment"
$tsOsd = Get-CMTaskSequence -Name $tsNameOsd -Fast
