Is it possible to create USB task sequence media the contains 2 task sequences for two different OSD WIMS (E.G. Windows 7 x32 and Windows 7 x64)?

We just have two task sequences and the user selects whether they want x86 or x64. John Marcum | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jmarcum/|

You can append your x64 image to your x32 image. In another words, you will have two images in one file. With OSDImageIndex Task Sequence variable you can select which image will be applied. With filters on options tab for each TS Step you can select which software or settings will be applied. You can use imagex for merging 2 images. Here is a script which can do it for you: Param ( [Parameter(mandatory = $true)][string]$Path, [Parameter(mandatory = $true)][string]$Destination, [Parameter(mandatory = $false)][string]$Filter ) $Imagex = "$env:ProgramFiles\Windows AIK\Tools\$env:processor_architecture\Imagex.exe" $WimFiles = Get-ChildItem -Path $Path -Filter $Filter if (Test-Path $Imagex) { foreach ($WimFile in $WimFiles) { &$Imagex /Export $WimFile.fullname 1 $Destination ($WimFile.Name -replace $WimFile.Extension) } } else { Write-Error "ImageX.exe not found." } You need to specify in Path variable directory with your wim-files. In Destination variable you need to specify destination wim file which will be include your wim files. When you will be create Task Sequence Media, just specify variable OSDImageIndex. On the start page of OSD process wizard will prompt you to specify OSDImageIndex, you need to set this value - 1 or 2.

sure you can! Its very easy! When PE starts up on my standalone USB keys an HTA opens asking if the tech would like to install Windows 7 or Windows xp. Their choice creates a task sequence variable i call "installos". For the task sequence, break it out into two sections. One for the win7 install and one for the xp install. Assign the win 7 section the win 7 variable along with "this group/step will run if "osinstall=W7" or "XP" "(depending on the users choice.

Here's a good write for doing this if anyone else finds this post http://blogs.technet.com/b/cameronk/archive/2010/04/30/consolidating-your-task-sequences-part-2-how-do-i-apply-the-appropriate-index-from-a-wim-using-a-task-sequence.aspx. I used MDT 2012 with the UDI qizard to select the index to use!! Thanks
