The task sequence won't run on anything until you advertise it to a collection.

 

Plus, if you set the task sequence to only run on an old platform (see below), you won't have to worry about it accidentally being deployed to servers or end users. Assuming you don't have people still running Windows 2000 at least.

Hi Rebel

 

Thanks for your advice ...

 

Your way is a solution to a void deployed to servers accidentally,

 

what I want know is, what will happen if I Enable Unknown computer supports then advertise task sequence to all unknown computer collection without define the platform in the advertisement..?

 

is the advertisement of task sequence will run mandatory as the attached said..?

 

or must restart the machines then hit F12 to boot from network...?

Defining the platform doesn't matter for PXE booting. PXE ignores that setting. If you make the advertisement mandatory, any computer that boots into PXE will run the task sequence without hitting F12 (good reason to put a password on your PXE boot).

 

If you advertise it to all unknown computers, the task sequence won't run from windows. Computers with the SCCM client installed won't be unknown. Computers without the SCCM client won't see the advertisement unless they PXE boot.
