I want to skip the restore user data screen for one of my task sequences. I set the task sequence variable to SkipUserData = YES and put it right after Gather local only. I also set the UserDataLocation = NONE and StatePath=(Blank). All in that order.

But won't that set it for every task sequence. What I am trying to do is one specific task sequence.

You could still have this in CustomSettings.ini Put the name of the task sequence that you want to modify these settings for in square brackets above [Default] For example: [Settings] Priority=TaskSequenceID, Default Properties=MyCustomProperty [CHANGETHIS_MYTASKNAME] SkipUserData=YES UserDataLocation=NONE [Default] OSInstall=YES etc etc etc I haven't tried doing this particular thing so this is off the top of my head, but I think this method should work. It might at least give you a starting point.

This is what I have. It does not work. [Settings] Priority=TaskSequenceID, ByLaptopAndWDSServer, Default, MMSettings, Locations, LSettings, LPackages, LApps, LAdmins, LRoles, MMPackages, MMApps, MMAdmins, MMRoles Properties=MyCustomProperty [Production] SkipUserData=Yes UserDataLocation=NONE [ByLaptopAndWDSServer] Subsection=LaptopAndWDSServer-%IsLaptop%-%wdsserver%
