Wildcard Task Sequence Variables for OSD Deployment

Question

Apologies up front if this is the wrong forum, but it struck me as the closest place for the topic. I'm currently working on making a more universal deployment task sequence for multiple labs within the school district I work at. We are using SCCM 2012 SP1 at this point. My idea is to have groups within my task sequence that will only run based off of If conditions that will look at the computer's name to validate. Since I'm looking at labs, with a minimum of 25 pcs and up, putting in a condition to check for each pc name is highly impractical. Is there is a method to have it check with a wildcard method?

So you want to run the task sequence based on a value(s)? If you use the Options tab and Add Conditions you can leverage the wql "like"

 

For example:

 

WMI NameSpace: root\cimv2

WQL Query: Select * From Win32_ComputerSystem Where Manufacturer Like "Lenovo%"

 

or

 

WMI NameSpace: root\cimv2

WQL Query: Select * From Win32_ComputerSystem Where Name Like "CompLab%"

 

You can also add multiple conditions that must all be true/false for the step to run. You can use custom task sequence variables as well in your condition or even look at a file.

 

Lastly, if you are scripter, you can use that too.

 

Hope that helps.
