CS.ini automatically select task sequence based on model


What I want to accomplish is for MDT to automatically select the task sequence based on the model, and if there is no match to run a generic deployment. but it's not selecting the task sequence automatically. any idea, how can i achieve this goal. Thanks

Solution

  • Finally, after hours of search, I found that this method works perfectly for Dell and HP series whereas for Lenovo you have to make some changes in the ZtiGather script to get the proper model of the system.
