[<CommonParameters>] Description
This cmdlet creates a new Prepare Windows for Capture step object. Then use the Add-CMTaskSequenceStep cmdlet to add the step to a task sequence. For more information on this step, see About task sequence steps: Prepare Windows for Capture.
Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
Examples
Example 1
This example first creates an object for the Prepare Windows for Capture step.
It then gets a task sequence object, and adds this new step to the task sequence at index 11.
$step = New-CMTSStepPrepareWindows -Name "Prepare Windows for Capture" -BuildDriverList $false -KeepActivation $true
$tsNameOsd = "Default OS deployment and capture"
$tsOsd = Get-CMTaskSequence -Name $tsNameOsd -Fast
$tsOsd | Add-CMTaskSequenceStep -Step $step -InsertStepStartIndex 11Parameters
-BuildDriverList
Set this parameter to $true to have Sysprep automatically build a list of mass storage drivers from the reference computer. This option enables the Build Mass Storage Drivers option in the sysprep.inf file on the reference computer.
| Type: | Boolean |
| Aliases: | AutomaticallyBuildMassStorageDriverList |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Condition
Specify a condition object to use with this step. To get this object, use one of the task sequence condition cmdlets. For example, Get-CMTSStepConditionVariable.
| Type: | IResultObject[] |
| Aliases: | Conditions |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ContinueOnError
Add this parameter to enable the step option Continue on error. When you enable this option, if the step fails, the task sequence continues.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Description
Specify an optional description for this task sequence step.
| Type: | String |

| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Disable
Add this parameter to disable this task sequence step.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Aliases: | DisableThisStep |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-DisableWildcardHandling
This parameter treats wildcard characters as literal character values. You can't combine it with ForceWildcardHandling.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ForceWildcardHandling
This parameter processes wildcard characters and may lead to unexpected behavior (not recommended). You can't combine it with DisableWildcardHandling.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-KeepActivation
