Types of task sequence
You can create a task sequence in two ways:
● Create a Dell-specific task sequence using OMIMSSC Deployment template.
● Create a custom task sequence.
The task sequence goes to the next task sequence step irrespective of the success or failure of the command.
Creating Dell specific task sequence
