We're happy to announce Seeed Studio as new manufacturing partner. A netCDF variable in an open netCDF dataset is referred to by a small integer called a variable ID. Variable IDs reflect the order in which variables were defined within a netCDF dataset. Variable IDs are 0, 1, 2,, in the order in which the variables were defined.  This function adds a new variable to an open netCDF dataset or group. It returns (as an argument) a variable ID, given the netCDF ID, the variable name, the variable type, the number of dimensions, and a list of the dimension IDs. Parameters. ncid. NetCDF or group ID, from a previous call to nc_open(), nc_create(), nc_def_grp(), or associated inquiry functions such as nc_inq_ncid(). name. Variable NetCDF Names. To run simple scripts open hardware group variable commands with another account after installing the OS, first add the hardwaree to the computer. The drop-down list populates from the specified opsn. To add this step in the task sequence editor, select Addselect Disksand select Disable BitLocker. Enable this option when using a task sequence to capture and build an OS image. For each variable, you can select Do not display this value to open hardware group variable the value of the variable.

This action prepares the computer for capture as part of the imaging process. This step completely removes the Configuration Manager client, instead of only removing key information. When the task sequence deploys the captured OS image, it installs a new Configuration Manager client each time. By default, the task sequence engine only removes the client during the Build and capture a reference operating system image task sequence.

The task sequence engine doesn't remove the client during other capture methods, such as capture media or a custom task sequence. You can overide this behavior for an OS deployment task sequence. This variable and behavior only applies to OS deployment task sequences. It removes the client after the next restart of the device. Use this step to specify the Sysprep options when capturing an OS image on the reference computer.

This step runs Sysprep, and then reboots the computer into the Windows PE boot image specified for the task sequence. This action fails if the reference computer is joined to a domain. To add this step in the task sequence editor, select Add , select Images , and select Prepare Windows for Capture. Select this option to have Sysprep automatically build a list of mass storage drivers from the reference computer. This option enables the Build Mass Storage Drivers option in the sysprep.

For more information about this setting, see the Sysprep documentation. The Windows Autopilot for existing devices task sequence uses this step with this option. If you want the task sequence to refresh the device and then immediately start OOBE for Autopilot, leave this option off. Enable this option to shutdown the device after imaging. Then you can deliver the device to a user, who starts OOBE with Autopilot when they turn it on for the first time.

By default, only the used drive space is encrypted, so encryption times are much faster. To add this step in the task sequence editor, select Add , select Disks , and select Pre-provision BitLocker. Specify the drive for which you want to enable BitLocker.

BitLocker only encrypts the used space on the drive. Select this option to skip drive encryption on a computer that doesn't contain a supported or enabled TPM. By default, this setting is enabled for the Pre-provision BitLocker step. Starting in version , if the device doesn't have a functional TPM, the task sequence engine logs a warning to smsts. Use this step to notify the state migration point that the capture or restore action is complete.

If you use the Request State Store step to request access to a state migration point to capture user state, this step notifies the state migration point that the capture process is complete. The state migration point then marks the user state data as available for restore.

The state migration point sets the access control permissions for the user state data so that only the restoring computer has read-only access. If you use the Request State Store step to request access to a state migration point to restore user state, this step notifies the state migration point that the restore process is complete. The state migration point then activates its configured data retention settings.

When creating a new state migration point, user state storage isn't available for up to one hour. To expedite availability, adjust any property settings on the state migration point to trigger a site control file update. Find a state migration point that meets the minimum requirements as configured in the state migration point settings. For example, Maximum number of clients and Minimum amount of free disk space.

This option doesn't guarantee sufficient space is available at the time of state migration. This option requests access to the state migration point for the purpose of capturing the user state and settings from a computer.

If the Configuration Manager site has multiple active state migration points, this step finds a state migration point with available disk space. The task sequence queries the management point for a list of state migration points, and then evaluates each until it finds one that meets the minimum requirements. Request access to a state migration point to restore previously captured user state and settings to a destination computer. If there are multiple state migration points, this step finds the state migration point that has the state for the destination computer.

The number of times that this step tries to find an appropriate state migration point before failing. If the task sequence can't access the state migration point using the computer account, it uses the network access account credentials to connect. This option is less secure because other computers could use the network access account to access the stored state.

This option might be necessary if the destination computer isn't domain joined. Use this step to restart the computer running the task sequence. After the restart, the computer automatically continues with the next step in the task sequence. To add this step in the task sequence editor, select Add , select General , and select Restart Computer.

Select this option for the destination computer to use the boot image assigned to the task sequence. The task sequence uses the boot image to run subsequent steps in Windows PE.

Select this option to display a notification to the user before the destination computer restarts. The step selects this option by default. Specify the amount of time in seconds before the destination computer restarts. The default is 60 seconds. You use this step in conjunction with the Capture User State step. Use this step with the Request State Store and Release State Store steps to save or restore the state settings with a state migration point.

This option always decrypts the USMT state store by using an encryption key that Configuration Manager generates and manages. If you're using this step for a purpose unrelated to an OS deployment scenario, add the Restart Computer step immediately following the Restore User State step.

Specify the package that contains the version of USMT for this step to use. When the step runs, the task sequence uses the version of USMT in the specified package. Restores the captured user profiles with the standard options. Allows you to customize the files that you want to restore to the destination computer. Select Files to specify the configuration files in the USMT package you want to use for restoring the user profiles.

To add a configuration file, enter the name of the file in the Filename box, and then select Add. Restores the local computer user profiles. These profiles aren't for domain users. Assign new passwords to the restored local user accounts. USMT can't migrate the original passwords. Enter the new password in the Password box, and confirm the password in the Confirm Password box.

Continues restoring user state and settings even if USMT is unable to restore some files. The step enables this option by default. If you disable this option, and Open Hardware Group Volume USMT encounters errors while restoring files, this step fails immediately. USMT doesn't restore all files. When restoring state, the task sequence by default generates Loadstate.

The command must request a restart using the standard restart code, If the command does return a exit code, the task sequence engine restarts the computer. To add this step in the task sequence editor, select Add , select General , and select Run Command Line.

Specifies the command line that the task sequence runs. This field is required. Include file name extensions, for example,. Include all required settings files and command-line options. If you don't specify the file name extension, Configuration Manager tries. If the file name has an extension that's not an executable type, Configuration Manager tries to apply a local association.

For example, if the command line is readme. To run successfully, precede command-line actions with the cmd. Example of these actions include output redirection, piping, and copy commands. By default, bit operating systems use the WOW64 file system redirector to run command lines. This behavior is to properly find bit versions of OS executables and libraries. Select this option to disable the use of the WOW64 file system redirector.

Windows runs the command using native bit versions of OS executables and libraries. This option has no effect when running on a bit OS. Specifies the executable folder for the program, up to characters. This folder can be an absolute path on the destination computer or a path relative to the distribution point folder that contains the package. This field is optional. The Browse button browses the local computer for files and folders.

Anything you select must also exist on the destination computer. It must exist in the same location and with the same file and folder names. When you specify files or programs on the command line that aren't already present on the destination computer, select this option to specify the Configuration Manager package that contains the necessary files.

The package doesn't require a program. If the specified files exist on the destination computer, this option isn't required. Specifies a value that represents how long Configuration Manager allows the command line to run.

This value can be from one minute to minutes. The default value is 15 minutes. This option is disabled by default. If you enter a value that doesn't allow enough time for the specified command to complete successfully, this step fails. The entire task sequence could fail depending on step or group conditions. If the time-out expires, Configuration Manager terminates the command-line process.

Specifies that the command line is run as a Windows user account other than the Local System account. To run simple scripts or commands with another account after installing the OS, first add the account to the computer.

Additionally, you may need to restore Windows user profiles to run more complex programs, such as a Windows Installer. Specifies the Windows user account this step uses to run the command line. The command line runs with the permissions of the specified account.

Select Set to specify the local user or domain account. For more information on the task sequence run-as account, see Accounts. If this step specifies a user account and runs in Windows PE, the action fails. You can't join Windows PE to a domain. The script must request a restart using the standard restart code, If the script does return a exit code, the task sequence engine restarts the computer.

For more information about how to modify a boot image, see Manage boot images. Certain anti-malware software may inadvertently trigger events against the Configuration Manager Run PowerShell Script task sequence step. Use signed PowerShell scripts in Unicode format. ANSI format, which is the default, doesn't work with this step. Specify the Configuration Manager package that contains the PowerShell script.

One package can contain multiple PowerShell scripts. Directly enter Windows PowerShell code in this step. This feature lets you run PowerShell commands during a task sequence without first creating and distributing a package with the script. Browse to an existing approved script in Configuration Manager. Specifies the parameters passed to the PowerShell script. These parameters are the same as the PowerShell script parameters on the command line.

Provide parameters consumed by the script, not for the Windows PowerShell command line. The following example contains valid parameters:.

The following example contains invalid parameters. The script doesn't consume these parameters. If a parameter value includes a special character, use single quotation marks ' around the value. Using double quotation marks " may cause the task sequence step to incorrectly process the parameter. Starting in version , set this property to a variable. Determine which PowerShell scripts if any you allow to run on the computer.

Choose one of the following execution policies:. Bypass : Load all configuration files and run all scripts. If you download an unsigned script from the internet, Windows PowerShell doesn't prompt for permission before running the script.

For an example of how to use this step property, see How to set variables. Specify the starting folder for the script, up to characters. Specify a value that represents how long Configuration Manager allows the PowerShell script to run. If you enter a value that doesn't allow enough time for the specified script to complete successfully, this step fails.

If the time-out expires, Configuration Manager terminates the PowerShell process. Specify that the PowerShell script is run as a Windows user account other than the Local System account.

Additionally, you may need to restore Windows user profiles to run more complex actions. Specify the Windows user account this step uses to run the PowerShell script. The specified account must be a local administrator on the system and the script runs with the permissions of this account.

In version , Configuration Manager enables this feature by default. In version or earlier, Configuration Manager doesn't enable this optional feature by default. Enable this feature before using it. For more information, see Enable optional features from updates. This step runs another task sequence. It creates a parent-child relationship between the task sequences. With child task sequences, you can create more modular, reusable task sequences.

To add this step in the task sequence editor, select Add , select General , and select Run Task Sequence. The parent and child task sequences are effectively combined into a single policy that the client runs. The environment is global. If the parent task sequence sets a variable, and then the child task sequence changes that variable, it retains the latest value. If the child task sequence creates a new variable, it's available for the rest of the parent task sequence.

The task sequence writes entries to the smsts. You can't select a task sequence with a boot image reference. For any deployment that requires a boot image, specify it on the parent task sequence. If a child task sequence is disabled, the deployment fails. You can't use the Continue on error option to work around this limitation. If a child task sequence contains steps that are considered high impact , Software Center doesn't detect it and show the high-impact notification.

Modify the properties of the parent task sequence, on the User Notification tab, to specify that This is a high-impact task sequence. If a child task sequence has a missing package reference, viewing the parent task sequence doesn't detect this state. If you edit the parent task sequence, it detects any missing references in child task sequences when you make changes to the parent. For more information, see release notes - New cmdlets.

Select Browse to select the child task sequence. The Select a Task Sequence dialog box doesn't display the parent task sequence. Gather information from the computer and its environment. Then set specified task sequence variables with the information. To add this step in the task sequence editor, select Add , select General , and select Set Dynamic Variables.

To set a dynamic variable for use in the task sequence, add a rule. Then set a value for each variable specified in the rule. Additionally, add one or more variables without adding a rule. When you add a rule, choose from the following categories:. Set multiple values as necessary. If any value is true, then the rule evaluates as true. For example, the following rule evaluates as true if the device serial number is and the MAC address is AA Make and Model : Evaluate values for the make and model of a computer.

Both the make and model must evaluate to true for the rule to evaluate to true. The asterisk matches multiple characters and the question mark matches a single character. Task Sequence Variable : Add a task sequence variable, condition, and value to evaluate.

The rule evaluates to true when the value set for the variable meets the specified condition. Specify one or more variables to set for a rule that evaluates to true, or set variables without using a rule. Select an existing variable, or create a custom variable. Existing task sequence variables : Select one or more variables from a list of existing task sequence variables. Array variables aren't available to select. Custom task sequence variables : Define a custom task sequence variable.

You can also specify an existing task sequence variable. This setting is useful to specify an existing variable array, such as OSDAdapter , since variable arrays aren't in the list of existing task sequence variables. After you select the variables for a rule, provide a value for each variable. The variable is set to the specified value when the rule evaluates to true.

For each variable, you can select Do not display this value to hide the value of the variable. When you import a task sequence with the Set Dynamic Variables step, Configuration Manager removes any variable values marked as Do not display this value. After you import the task sequence, re-enter the value for the dynamic variable. When you use the option Do not display this value , the value of the variable isn't displayed in the task sequence editor.

The task sequence log file smsts. The variable can still be used by the task sequence when it runs. If you no longer want these variables to be hidden, delete them first. Then redefine the variables without selecting the option to hide them. If you include variables in the Run Command Line step's command line, the task sequence log file displays the full command line including the variable values. Task sequence variables are read by task sequence actions and specify the behavior of those actions.

For more information about specific task sequence variables and how to use them, see the following articles:. Specify the name of a task sequence built-in or action variable, or specify your own user-defined variable name.

Enable this option to mask sensitive data stored in task sequence variables. For example, when specifying a password. Enable this option and then set the value of the task sequence variable. Otherwise the variable value isn't set as you intend, which may cause unexpected behaviors when the task sequence runs. If you no longer want this variable to be hidden, delete it first.

Then redefine the variable without selecting the option to hide it. The task sequence sets the variable to this value. This task sequence step is a required part of any OS deployment.

It installs the Configuration Manager client into the new OS, and prepares for the task sequence to continue execution in the new OS. However, since the transition starts in Windows PE, it can only be added during the Windows PE portion of the task sequence.

This step replaces sysprep. The task sequence ignores variables specified by using these environment variables. Download the package that contains the Configuration Manager client. Add the package to the deployed image. Disable the Configuration Manager client in the image, if it exists.

In other words, disable Autostart for the Configuration Manager client service. Update the registry in the deployed image to start the deployed OS with the same drive letter as the reference computer. Windows mini-setup runs by using the previously specified sysprep. If you use the Apply Network Settings step to join a domain, then that information is in the answer file. Windows mini-setup joins the computer to the domain. After Windows mini-setup finishes, the task sequence resumes by using setupcomplete.

For more information, see Run a script after setup is complete SetupComplete. Enable or disable the local Administrator account, based on the option selected in the Apply Windows Settings step. Install the Configuration Manager client by using the previously downloaded package, and installation properties specified in this step. The client installs in "provisioning mode".

This mode prevents the client from processing new policy requests until the task sequence completes. For more information, see Provisioning mode. Windows group policy normally doesn't process until after the task sequence is complete. This behavior is consistent across different versions of Windows. Other custom actions during the task sequence can trigger group policy evaluation.

For more information on the order of operations, see Run a script after setup is complete SetupComplete. Select Browse , then choose the Configuration Manager client installation package to use with this step. If there's a pre-production client package available, and the computer is a member of the piloting collection, the task sequence uses this package instead of the production client package. The pre-production client is a newer version for testing in the production environment.

Select Browse , then choose the pre-production client installation package to use with this step. The task sequence step automatically specifies site assignment and the default configuration. Use this field to specify any additional installation properties to use when you install the client. To enter multiple installation properties, separate them with a space.

Specify command-line options to use during client installation. For more information about available command-line options for CCMSetup. Don't enable Continue on error on the Options tab. If there's an error during this step, the task sequence fails whether or not you enable this setting. To add this step in the task sequence editor, select Add , select Images , and select Upgrade Operating System.

Specifies a local or network path to the Windows 10 media that Windows Setup uses. When you use a variable for the source path, set its value earlier in the task sequence. For example, use the Download Package Content step to specify a variable for the location of the OS upgrade package. Then, use that variable for the source path for this step.

Add drivers to the destination computer during the upgrade process. The drivers must be compatible with Windows For more information, see Windows Setup command-line options. Driver package : Select Browse and choose an existing driver package from the list. Staged content : Select this option to specify the location for the driver content.

You can specify a local folder, network path, or a task sequence variable. Group Policy will install Windows features for you. Select the Isolated User Mode check box at the top level of the feature selection. Add the virtualization-based security features to an offline image by using DISM. In Windows 10, version and later, the Isolated User Mode feature has been integrated into the core operating system. Running the command in step 3 above is therefore no longer required.

Set the value of this registry setting to 1 to enable virtualization-based security and set it to 0 to disable it. Click Start , type msinfo For client machines that are running Windows 10 , LsaIso. We recommend enabling Windows Defender Credential Guard before a device is joined to a domain. If Windows Defender Credential Guard is enabled after domain join, the user and device secrets may already be compromised. In other words, enabling Credential Guard will not help to secure a device or identity that has already been compromised, which is why we recommend turning on Credential Guard as early as possible.

This can be done with security audit policies or WMI queries. Here's a list of WinInit event IDs to look for:. The first variable: 0x1 or 0x2 means that Windows Defender Credential Open Source Hardware User Group Chat Guard is configured to run. The second variable: 0 means that it's configured to run in protect mode. This variable should always be 0. Using cached copy status: 0x0. Unsealing cached copy status: 0x1.
