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 creates an object for the Prepare Windows for Capture step.
It then gets a task sequence object, and adds this new step to the task sequence at index 11.
$step = New-CMTSStepPrepareWindows -Name "Prepare Windows for Capture" -BuildDriverList $false -KeepActivation $true
$tsNameOsd = "Default OS deployment and capture"
$tsOsd = Get-CMTaskSequence -Name $tsNameOsd -Fast
$tsOsd | Add-CMTaskSequenceStep -Step $step -InsertStepStartIndex 11
Parameters
-BuildDriverList
Set this parameter to $true to have Sysprep automatically build a list of mass storage drivers from the reference computer. This option enables the Build Mass Storage Drivers option in the sysprep.inf file on the reference computer.
