The SMS_TaskSequencePackage Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class is an SMS Provider server class, in Configuration Manager, that represents a task sequence package that defines the steps to run for the task sequence.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all inherited properties.

Remarks

Class qualifiers for this class include:

  • Secured

  • Icon("Package.ico")

For more information about both the class qualifiers and the property qualifiers included in the Properties section, see Configuration Manager Class and Property Qualifiers.

To get started using this class, see How to Create an Operating System Deployment Task Sequence Package.

You create an operating system deployment task sequence package by creating an instance of the SMS_TaskSequencePackage class to hold a task sequence. The task sequence itself is created by using the Operating System Deployment Task Sequence Object Model, and it is associated with the task sequence package by using the SetSequence Method in Class SMS_TaskSequencePackage method. The package is advertised to clients who can then run the task sequence. For more information, see How to Create an Operating System Deployment Task Sequence Package.

For more information about the task sequence WMI objects, see About Operating System Deployment Task Sequences.
