hi all, we are working on replace scenario currently & have imported few xp & win 7 machines in different collections using CSV files. the only part we are stuck is on the association of these machine ,we don't want to do it manually we want to have an automated process which does this work so that after the machine association we can run the Replace TS. Can we do this in SCCM 2007 or do we need scripts for this process. Thanks Pranay.

hi all, we are working on the Refresh scenario for one of our client and using two task sequence to complete this task. TS#1 - Stores the user data & settings to SMP.(advertisement priority HIGH) TS#2 - Deploy Win7 & restores the data.(advertisement priority LOW,PXE boot) TS#1 stores the states and restarts the machine and after the restart execution of TS#2 begins. we are able to finish this task without any issue. But we are stuck in a problem which is, consider if the TS#1 fails without saving users data and the machine restart and the TS#2 execution starts. User data was not saved by TS#1 and so after execution of TS#2 what user gets is a machine with WIN 7 but no user data. I just want to make sure that if TS#1 has executed successfully,then only execution of TS#2 begins. Please suggest a way... Thanks Pranay.
