I want to create disk partition while running the SCCM OSD Task Sequences. How to get an option to select Drives/Partitions to Install OS while running SCCM OSD Task Sequences.

Thanks

Are you looking to choose which partition to install the OS on while the TS is running? You can do this with MDT UDI.

See here for example

the OSD task sequence has a built in step to do that for you, are you looking to create more than one partition? single or multiple hard drives?

I'd detect the partitions with WMI/Script or something and add a partition step accordingly, this way it would be automated...

Hi Narcoticoo,

can you help me in creating WMI/Script to achieve this.

Well first examine can you detect the partitioning with simple WMI query and then use that in your TS step that does the partitioning.

First off, are you aware that it is no longer recommended having multiple partitions? Are you deploying win7 or win 8?

This could be done with a simple directory listing that checks for Windows folder, excluding the one that WinPE uses (X:).
