Task Sequence Software Install by Subnet?

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction on this.  I have a single software package that can only be installed on computers that are getting deployed in one particular branch office.  Is there a way that I can query WMI or some other manner which will allow me to deploy this software during a task sequence deployment, but have the task sequence detect that that the OSD is being done in that particular location? 

The location has a unique subnet so if I could have it detect that the computer is on the 192.168.160.x subnet, it could deploy this software.

Thanks in advance!

you could use collection variables and have a step in your task sequence to detect the value of the variable and act accordingly, here's an example of using collection variables

If you need help with wmi queries but are not familiar with wsh or vbs you can use WMI Code Creator , and generates the wmi script for you

You can download WMI code creator from

Does anyone have a working WMI query for subnet activation?

MDT does. Or if you simply want to follow their example, query by IP gateway on the active NIC.
