Creating a task sequence
Task sequences are used to capture an operating system image, configure its settings, and deploy the image on a set of Dell
client systems. You can create a task sequence in two ways:
● Create a Dell-specific task sequence, which has a set of pre-specified actions, using the Client Operating System
Deployment Task Template template.
● Create a custom task sequence where you can add custom actions to the task sequence.
Creating a task sequence using the Dell Client Deployment
Template
To create a task sequence using the Dell Client Deployment template:
1. Launch the Configuration Manager console.
2. Click Software Library.
3. Expand Overview > Operating Systems.
4. Right-click Task Sequences, then click Dell Command | Integration Suite > Create Operating System Deployment
Task Sequence.
The Client Operating System Deployment Task Template window is displayed.
5. Enter the name of the task sequence in Task Sequence Name field.
6. Under Client Hardware Configuration, select the hardware items that you want to configure in this task sequence.
NOTE:
If you select the Configure BIOS check box and a Dell Command | Configure package has been previously
created, then a task sequence template is created while configuring the system BIOS. The Dell Command | Configure
package is selected by default and the command line to run the SCE on the target system is populated automatically.
However, if a Dell Command | Configure package has not been created then a message that no Dell Command |
Configure package has been detected is displayed. You can still configure the system BIOS but a package will not be
selected.
7. Under Network (Admin) Account, enter the domain administrator account name and password.
8. Under Operating System Installation, select the operating system installation type. The options are:
● Use an OS WIM image
● Scripted OS install

drop-down menu.

A confirmation message is displayed.
