Importing System Variables
To import system variables from an external file saved in .CSV format:
1 On the ConfigMgr console, navigate to Operating System Deployment 
Computer Associates.
2 Right-click on Computer Association and select Import Dell Servers from
the menu.
3 On the Import Dell Servers screen, select the Import System Variables
option.
4 Click Browse to select the .CSV file that contains the variables.
The variables should be defined in the following format in the file:
<System Name>,<variable1 name>=<variable1
value>,<variable2 name>=<variable2 value>.
For Example:
<System Name1>,InstallOSVer=Win2K3,CountDisks=5
<System Name2>,InstallOSVer=Win2K8,CountDisks=4
<System Name3>,CountDisks=4,RAIDController=H700
5 Click Next. The screen displays a comparison report of the variable values
already present in the system and the variable values present in the .
CSV
file. The following details are displayed:
– Name — The name of the system.
– Var ia bl e N am e — The name of the variable.
– Value in the .CSV file — The value of the variable in the .CSV file. If
the variable is not present in the file, this column displays the value
NA.
– Value in the System — The value of the variable in the system. If the
variable is not present on the system, this column displays the value
NA.
– Action — The action to be taken for the variable. This action always
gives precedence to the variables and the values present in the .CSV
file.
