automatic configuration of the steps. In certain cases, such as the
addition of a “Reboot to PXE or USB” step, if you do not allow the
automatic reconfiguration, it will result in failure.
In the first released version of the integration components on which
the OEM hardware configuration add-ins are built, the form checks
for pre-existing OEM task steps, but does not check for other
existing OEM steps. This causes an issue where adding one OEM step
to an existing task sequence created by another OEM’s automatic
configuration cause the newly-added step to be taken as the
first OEM step in the task sequence.
In the case of hardware configuration step, cancel the
reconfiguration because it would still add a valid
task step to the sequence. However, if you are adding a “Reboot to
PXE or USB” step, canceling the automatic reconfiguration will leave
the task step un-configured and invalid. Accepting the
reconfiguration will re-apply the original grouping and
reorganization to the task sequence, which will also render it
invalid.
Solution:
---------
The initial OEM release works correctly on its own and subsequent
versions of the underlying integration components will check for
existing steps from any OEM. Therefore, ensure that you use the
following procedure for using steps from multiple OEMs in a task
sequence:
* Create a new task sequence with OEM configuration steps
(preferably, use the right-click action on the “Task
Sequences” node).
* You can now add steps from any OEM into a task sequence and
it will be handled correctly.
