Useful Script Number 2 - Move the Task Sequence Window

Richard,

Will this script work using the Lite-Touch and if so, do I need to change the "Systems Management Server" portion to Lite-Touch Installation?

The script will work unmodified for Lite Touch as the function is looking for the actual window title "Systems Management Server" and this is what the task sequence window is called in BDD for both Lite and Zero Touch. The only reason you would change the lines with ("Systems Management Server") in tem was if yoiu wanted to use the script with MDT as I believe that the task sequence window is called "Installation Progress"

I love it! Thanks Richard. Funny thing is I was just sending an email out to my deployment techs regarding a non silent install window that pops up behind the TS window. I've instructed them for the time being to manually move the window so they can see the prompt to begin the install.

I'll give this a shot, but before I do. I need some clarification on what I should change with this script to get in working with MDT? "Installation Progress"? That doesn't sound familiar.

Richard,

I think it would be very helpful at this point if you could post attachments for the script to use in an MDT environment.

I'd be more than happy to test the scripts out.

when I have a task sequence to install XP and currently it auto partitions and formats in the sequence.

is there a way to have it prompt before the install to manually set the partitions and format?

Hi Jarod,

You can specify which partitions you want to create with MDT! Go see this image on Ben's blog for a screenshot:

Just open your Task Sequence and find the task for partioning your disk. In there you will be able to set up the partitions.

HTH,

Daniel

Hi, it was mentioned that a "DVD based deployment" was needed, yet the task sequence window appeared?

How was this accomplished without supplying a BDD/MDT environment?

Richard,

I seems Rich and I are in the same case where this would be a very useful script if it also supported MDT.

Many thanks for your contributions to the Deployment Community.
