Get the Format and Partition Disk step from a specific task sequence.

Description

Use this cmdlet to get a task sequence step object for one or more instances of the Format and Partition Disk step. You can use this object to:

For more information on this step, see About task sequence steps: Format and Partition Disk.

Note

Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.

Examples

Example 1: Get the step from a task sequence

This example first gets a task sequence object in the $tsOsd variable. It then passes that variable as the input object to get the Format and Partition Disk step.

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

$tsStepNameFormatDisk = "Partition Disk 0 - UEFI"
$tsStepFormatDisk = Get-CMTSStepPartitionDisk -InputObject $tsOsd -StepName $tsStepNameFormatDisk

Example 2: View the partition setting details for a step

This example builds on the previous example. To view the first partition settings, reference the Partitions property, which is an array of SMS_TaskSequence_PartitionSettings objects.

$tsStepFormatDisk = Get-CMTSStepPartitionDisk -InputObject $tsOsd -StepName $tsStepNameFormatDisk

$tsStepFormatDisk.Partitions[0]

You can use this process to copy partition settings between steps or task sequences. Save this partition settings object as a variable and then add it to another step.
