You enumerate an operating system deployment task sequence, in Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, by using a recursive method to scan through the task sequence steps and groups.

To enumerate the steps in a task sequence

Set up a connection to the SMS Provider. For more information, see About the SMS Provider in Configuration Manager.
Obtain a valid task sequence SMS_TaskSequence object. For more information, see How to Create an Operating System Deployment Task Sequence
Enumerate through the steps to display any action (SMS_TaskSequence_Actions names. Use recursion to access any groups (SMS_TaskSequence_Group) that are found and display their actions.

Example

The following example displays the actions and groups within a task sequence.

For information about calling the sample code, see Calling Configuration Manager Code Snippets.

Sub RecurseTaskSequenceSteps(taskSequence, indent)

    Dim osdStep 
    Dim i
        
    ' Indent each new group.
    for each osdStep in taskSequence.Steps

        for i=0 to indent
            WScript.StdOut.Write " "
        next
        
        If osdStep.SystemProperties_("__CLASS")="SMS_TaskSequence_Group" Then
            wscript.StdOut.Write "Group: " 
        End If
        
        WScript.Echo osdStep.Name
      
        ' Recurse into each group found.
        If osdStep.SystemProperties_("__CLASS")="SMS_TaskSequence_Group" Then
            If IsNull(osdStep.Steps) Then
                Wscript.Echo "No steps"
            Else
                Call RecurseTaskSequenceSteps (osdStep, indent+3)
            End If    
        End If
     Next   
End Sub

public void RecurseTaskSequenceSteps(
    IResultObject taskSequence,
    int indent)
{
    try
    {
        // The array of SMS_TaskSequence_Steps.
        List<IResultObject> steps = taskSequence.GetArrayItems("Steps");

        foreach (IResultObject ro in steps)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < indent; i++)
            {
                Console.Write(" ");
            }

            if (ro["__CLASS"].StringValue == "SMS_TaskSequence_Group")
            {
                Console.Write("Group: ");
            }

            Console.WriteLine(ro["Name"].StringValue);

            // Child groups that are found. Use recursion to view them.
            if (ro["__CLASS"].StringValue == "SMS_TaskSequence_Group")
            {
                this.RecurseTaskSequenceSteps(ro, indent + 3);
            }
        }
    }
    catch (SmsException e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Failed To enumerate task sequence items: " + e.Message);
        throw;
    }
}

The example method has the following parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
taskSequence	Managed: IResultObject VBScript: SWbemObject	A valid task sequence (SMS_TaskSequence). The group is added to this task sequence.
indent	Managed: Integer VBScript: Integer	Indent is used to space console output for child groups.
