Prompt for User State Capture/Restore?
I have a customer who wants an OSD task sequence to prompt at the beginning to ask the person imaging the machine if they would like to capture the user state. They have some machines that are "community" workstations that they will not neccessarily
want to capture user state information from, so they would like to give the local IT the option.
Does someone know how to do this? Thanks.

use a frontend HTA, that'll allow your users to pick options and those options will set variables which can be used in the task sequence steps to do what you want., you'll need to
add support to your boot image to use a frontend

Is this the only way? I have not installed MDT and don't really want to muck things up with it right now.xtiyu32n

yes it's possible but you'll have to use the command line instead (dism from waik) - see here

or run this vbs script as the frst step..
-----Script start-------------
set env = CreateObject("Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment")
Set ProgressUI = CreateObject("Microsoft.SMS.TsProgressUI")
ProgressUI.CloseProgressDialog
sAnswer = MsgBox("Do you want to run USMT", vbYesNo, "Choose ")
Select Case sAnswer
Case vbYes:
env("USMT") = "True"
WScript.Echo env("USMT")
Case vbNo:
WScript.Echo "USMT will not Run!"
End Select
---- end script-----
Then just set an option on your StateStore Groups to only run if the TSvariable USMT=True
