[<CommonParameters>] Description
This cmdlet creates a new Run Command Line 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: Run Command Line.
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 creates an object for the Run Command Line step. It specifies the command line and a package to use.
It then gets a task sequence object, and adds this new step to the task sequence at index 11.
$step = New-CMTSStepRunCommandLine -Name "Run Command Line" -CommandLine "cmd.exe /c copy Jan98.dat c:\sales\Jan98.dat" -PackageId "XYZ00821"
$tsNameOsd = "Default OS deployment"
$tsOsd = Get-CMTaskSequence -Name $tsNameOsd -Fast
$tsOsd | Add-CMTaskSequenceStep -Step $step -InsertStepStartIndex 11Parameters
-CommandLine
Specify the command line that the task sequence runs. Include file name extensions, for example, .exe. Include all required settings files and command-line options.
For example: cmd.exe /c copy Jan98.dat c:\sales\Jan98.dat
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-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 |
-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 |
-DisableWow64Redirection
By default, 64-bit operating systems use the WOW64 file system redirector to run command lines. This behavior is to properly find 32-bit versions of OS executables and libraries. Add this parameter to disable the use of the WOW64 file system redirector. Windows runs the command using native 64-bit versions of OS executables and libraries. This option has no effect when running on a 32-bit OS.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Aliases: | DisableRedirectionFor64BitFileSystem |
| 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 |
-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 |
-OutputVariableName
Specify the name of a custom task sequence variable. When you use this parameter, the step saves the last 1000 characters of the command output to the variable.
| Type: | String |
| Aliases: | Output, OutputVariable |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-PackageId
When you specify files or programs on the command line that don't already exist on the destination computer, use this parameter to specify the package ID for a package that has the necessary files. The package doesn't require a program. If the specified files exist on the destination computer, this option isn't required.
This value is a standard package ID, for example XYZ00821.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-RunAsUser
Add this parameter to run the command line as a Windows user account and not the local system account. Then use the UserName and UserPassword parameters.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-SuccessCode
Specify an array of integer values as exit codes from the command that the step should evaluate as success.
| Type: | Int32[] |
| Aliases: | SuccessCodes |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Timeout
Specify an integer value that represents how long Configuration Manager allows the command line to run. This value can be from 1 minute to 999 minutes. The default value is 15 minutes.
If you enter a value that doesn't allow enough time for the specified command to complete successfully, this step fails. The entire task sequence could fail depending on step or group conditions. If the timeout expires, Configuration Manager terminates the command-line process.
| Type: | Int32 |
| Aliases: | TimeoutInMinutes |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-UserName
When you use the RunAsUser parameter, use this parameter to specify the name of the Windows user account. To specify the account password, use the UserPassword parameter.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-UserPassword
When you use the RunAsUser parameter, use this parameter to specify the password of the account that you specify with UserName.
| Type: | SecureString |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
