Hello We have a task sequence that collects information at the beginning for use throughout the task sequence. The issue is with the one of the values is the possibility of 2 % characters together and when evaluated causes the TS to fail. When the value of the variable is enumerated only 1 % character is present. A sample vbscript below illustrated this issue Dim oEnv Set oEnv=CreateObject("Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment") oEnv("Test1")="a%%b" MsgBox oEnv("Test1") 'returns "a%b", drops a percent sign My questions are: 1) Are certain "special" characters restricted for use like &,$,%,\,/ etc that may evaluate as a function and not a character? 2) Is there a method to do a literal evaluation of the variable? Thanks

An Update to my last post - It appears that the only character that is having issues is the % character when used in multiples together

Michael Niehaus says this is a known issue in the task sequencer. Thanks Mike!
