This article is a reference for all of the available variables in alphabetical order. Use the browser Find function (typically CTRL + F) to find a specific variable. The variable notes if it's specific to particular step. The article on task sequence steps includes the list of variables specific to each step.
The task sequence scans the computer's hard drives for a previous operating system installation when Windows PE starts. The Windows folder location is stored in this variable. You can configure your task sequence to retrieve this value from the environment and use it to specify the same Windows folder location to use for the new operating system installation.
The task sequence scans the computer's hard drives for a previous operating system installation when Windows PE starts. The hard drive location for where the operating system is installed is stored in this variable. You can configure your task sequence to retrieve this value from the environment and use it to specify the same hard drive location to use for the new operating system.
Stores the current running task sequence deployment unique ID. It uses the same format as a Configuration Manager software distribution deployment ID. If the task sequence is running from stand-alone media, this variable is undefined.
If the current running task sequence references a boot image package, this variable stores the boot image package ID. If the task sequence doesn't reference a boot image package, this variable isn't set.
If the current task sequence is running in download-on-demand mode, this variable is true. Download-on-demand mode means the task sequence manager downloads content locally only when it must access the content.
Stores the name of the last action that was run. This variable relates to _SMSTSLastActionRetCode. The task sequence logs these values to the smsts.log file. This variable is beneficial when troubleshooting a task sequence. When a step fails, a custom script can include the step name along with the return code.
If the task sequence skipped the last action, because the step is disabled or the associated condition evaluated to false, this variable isn't reset. It still holds the value for the previous action.
Stores and specifies the computer name. Stores the name of the computer that the task sequence uses to log all status messages. To change the computer name in the new OS, use the OSDComputerName variable.
Specifies the path defined by the SMSTSLocalDataDrive variable. This path specifies where the task sequence stores temporary cache files on the destination computer while it's running. When you define SMSTSLocalDataDrive before the task sequence starts, such as by setting a collection variable, Configuration Manager then defines the _SMSTSMDataPath variable once the task sequence starts.
A read-only variable for whether the Network adapter is not wireless check returned true (1) or false (0). If you don't enable the check, the value of this read-only variable is blank.
A read-only variable for whether the TPM 2.0 or above is activated check returned inactive (0) or active (1). If you don't enable the check, the value of this read-only variable is blank.
A read-only variable for whether the TPM 2.0 or above is enabled check returned disabled (0) or enabled (1). If you don't enable the check, the value of this read-only variable is blank.
This task sequence variable is an array variable. Each element in the array represents the settings for a single network adapter on the computer. Access the settings for each adapter by combining the array variable name with the zero-based network adapter index and the property name.
If the Apply Network Settings step configures multiple network adapters, it defines the properties for the second network adapter by using the index 1 in the variable name. For example: OSDAdapter1EnableDHCP, OSDAdapter1IPAddressList, and OSDAdapter1DNSDomain.
Set this value to override the count set by the step or the OSDBitLockerRebootCount variable. While the other methods only accept values 1 to 15, if you set this variable to 0, BitLocker remains disabled indefinitely. This variable is useful when the task sequence sets one value, but you want to set a separate value on a per-device or per-collection basis.
Specifies the location where the task sequence saves the captured OS image. The maximum directory name length is 255 characters. If the network share requires authentication, specify the OSDCaptureAccount and OSDCaptureAccountPassword variables.
To prevent potentially sensitive data from being displayed or logged, set this variable to TRUE. This variable masks the program name in the smsts.log during an Install Package step.
Specifies the RFC 1779 format name of the organizational unit (OU) that the destination computer joins. If specified, the value must contain the full path. The length of the OU name must be between 0 and 32,767 characters. This value isn't set if the OSDJoinType variable is set to 1 (join workgroup).
Specifies the password for the OSDJoinAccount that the destination computer uses to join the Active Directory domain. If the task sequence environment doesn't include this variable, then Windows Setup tries a blank password. If the variable OSDJoinType variable is set to 0 (join domain), this value is required.
Specifies the local Administrator account password. If you enable the option to Randomly generate the local administrator password and disable the account on all supported platforms, then the step ignores this variable. The specified value must be between 1 and 255 characters.
To prevent potentially sensitive data from being logged, the Run PowerShell Script step doesn't log script parameters in the smsts.log file. To include the script parameters in the task sequence log, set this variable to TRUE.
Specifies the configuration files used to control the capture of user profiles. This variable is used only if OSDMigrateMode is set to Advanced. This comma-delimited list value is set to perform customized user profile migration.
If the OSDMigrateLocalAccounts variable is true, this variable must contain the password assigned to all migrated local accounts. USMT assigns the same password to all migrated local accounts. Consider this password as temporary, and change it later by some other method.
This task sequence variable is an array variable of partition settings. Each element in the array represents the settings for a single partition on the hard disk. Access the settings defined for each partition by combining the array variable name with the zero-based disk partition number and the property name.
Specifies the size of the partition. This property is optional. If this property isn't specified, the partition is created using all remaining free space. Units are specified by the OSDPartitions0SizeUnits variable.
When this step creates partitions, it always uses the next available drive letter in Windows PE. Use this optional property to specify the name of another task sequence variable. The step uses this variable to save the new drive letter for future reference.
If you define multiple partitions with this task sequence step, the properties for the second partition are defined by using the 1 index in the variable name. For example: OSDPartitions1Type, OSDPartitions1FileSystem, OSDPartitions1Bootable, OSDPartitions1QuickFormat, and OSDPartitions1VolumeName.
Set the value of this variable to the language invariant name of time zone. For example, use the string in the Std value for a time zone under the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones.
Use this variable to address timing issues with the Window 10 in-place upgrade task sequence on high performance devices when Windows setup is complete. When you assign a value in seconds to this variable, the Windows setup process delays that amount of time before it starts the task sequence. This timeout provides the Configuration Manager client additional time to initialize.
Specifies the message to be displayed to users before restarting the destination computer. If this variable isn't set, the default message text is displayed. The specified message can't exceed 512 characters.
When you use the SMSTSDownloadProgram variable to use an alternate content provider, set this variable to true to allow it to use token authentication. If you don't set this variable or set it to false, it skips any token authentication sources. The alternate content provider has to support token authentication.
When the task sequence restarts, the value of this variable persists. However, the task sequence tries sending an initial status message. This first attempt includes multiple retries. If successful, the task sequence continues sending status regardless of the value of this variable. If status fails to send, the task sequence uses the value of this variable.
By default on a 64-bit OS, the task sequence locates and runs the program in the command line using the WOW64 file system redirector. This behavior allows the command to find 32-bit versions of OS programs and DLLs. Setting this variable to true disables the use of the WOW64 file system redirector. The command finds native 64-bit versions of OS programs and DLLs. This variable has no effect when running on a 32-bit OS.
This variable contains the abort code value for the external program downloader. This program is specified in the SMSTSDownloadProgram variable. If the program returns an error code equal to the value of the SMSTSDownloadAbortCode variable, then the content download fails and no other download method is attempted.
