Introduction These are my notes from a session @ Microsoft Ignite 2020, the session was hosted by Steve Dispensa (Director of Program Management at Microsoft Endpoint Manager) and Ramya Chitrakar (Director of Engineering at Microsoft Endpoint Manager).

Hello Everyone,   I'm still fairly new to the OSD  task sequence portion for Imaging and Re-imaging in SCCM.  I need help with the Powershell cmdlets on how to call/carry over the OSDComputername variable from a previous Task Sequence step, which I believe contains the  Computer name from reading the information in the BIOS,  over to the Powershell environment so that I can run  the following powershell commandline : remove-adgroup -identity "$computername-admin" At my work
