Would someone be able to instruct me on how to add laptops to one OU in my domain and desktops to a different OU in my domain during the deployment task sequence. In the Apply Network settings you only have the option to pick a single OU?BRL

Are you using MDT together with SCCM for your deployment solution? Then you can either use MDT to configure which OU the computer should be in during installation, or you can duplicate the Apply Network step and add a condition to them both, one for laptops and one for desktops. Using MDT you will have a task sequence variable that is called ISLAPTOP=true/false and ISDESKTOP=true/false which you can use to execute the correct apply network settings step. If not using MDT you can do the same by using an WMI query to determine is the computer is a laptop or desktop, see http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2004/09/21/how-can-i-determine-if-a-computer-is-a-laptop-or-a-desktop-machine.aspx for more information on how to achieve that. Hope it helps Best Regards, Jörgen---------------------------------------------------- visit my System center blog at www.ccmexec.com

Hi, Using MDT would be the easiest as Jörgen pointed out. If you have no MDT then there's an option to run a custom script in a task before Apply Network Settings to evaluate a variable with chassis type. I've used a script like this: Dim oTaskSequence, oWMI, colChassis, sChassisType, oChassis Set oTaskSequence = CreateObject ("Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment") Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2") Set ChassisInfo = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_SystemEnclosure") For Each objChassis in ChassisInfo For i = Lbound(objChassis.ChassisTypes) to Ubound(objChassis.ChassisTypes) chassisInt = objChassis.ChassisTypes(i) Next Next ChassisType = translateTypeID(chassisInt) oTaskSequence ("chassisType") = ChassisType Function translateTypeID(code) Select Case code Case "8", "10", "12", "14", "18", "21" translateTypeID = "Laptop" Case "23" translateTypeID = "Server" Case Else translateTypeID = "Desktop" End Select End Function This script evaluates a task sequence variable with one of following: "laptop", "desktop" or "server". Then I make two Apply Network Settings tasks, one for laptops OU and another for desktops OU. Specify "Task Sequence Variable" condition for both tasks so that "chassisType" variable equals "laptop" for one and "desktop" for another.

I believe I got this working using the MDT Toolkit Package just to verify I must include the Gather task sequence after the toolkit is in place is that a correct statement. Again thank you folks for your assistance been a huge help!!BRL
