Task Sequence Variables / WMI queries with UDI Designer
Hi,
In my current task sequence I have a HTA attached to the boot image which I use to capture task sequence variables for language, locale, keyboard etc. I then use these task sequence variables to determine what language version of Notes, Office etc to install.
I guess I can use the task sequence variables generated from the Wizard e.g UILanguage to determine what software to install. What I would like to do is use the OSD Application Item Configuration in the UDI Wizard, but it seems I can only
use WMI Queries. Can I use WMI queries with Task Sequence Variables or anyother way to determine language, locale etc from WMI ?

YOu can either define in your customsettings.ini or you could specify as a variable.Brandon Linton |http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/brandonlinton/default.aspx | MCTS - SCCM, MDT, AD

thanks for that, sorry any chance you could elaborate ?
So say I have a task sequence variable called OSDUILanguage.
I want to do e.g.
If OSDUILanguage = "FR-FR" install Office 2007 French
If OSDUILanguage = "DE-DE" install Office 2007 German
What would I need to define in customsettings.ini, or how would I specify the variable in WMI ?
Thanks

hi,
I've performed exactly the same thing as you. with UDI wizard you can find the UILANGUAGE task sequence variable.
So if you want to select software installation based on this variable, you just hae to add a step : install software and apply a condition based on the UILanguage Value.
In order to achieve your goal :
add a step 'Use Tookit package" in order to implement MDT task sequence variable, particularly IULanguage
add a step UDI Wizard in order to set the "UILanguage" value trough the wizard
add a step "install software" and specify a condition : Task Sequence Variable UILanguage equals "fr-FR"
This runs perfectly !
have a nice day

Thanks for that, I was hoping to do this within the UDI Wizard Designer in the OSD Applications section, not within the task sequence directly, not sure if that is possible.
