| | I am trying to create a user exit script. I am trying to make a single task sequence for every image. I am doing that by taking a task sequence and having 5 install OS tasks. Each is set with if logic to only allow the image to work on the specific make or model that it works for. My problem is, I have a few Spanish images that blows everything up. This leaves me with either creating two task sequences, an English and a Spanish, or I can try to come up with a way to distinguish the two before the OS is installed. The simplest approach I can think of is to use the computer name. We manually enter the computer name into the task sequence for every deployment. So if the system name was TIJ#### (for Tijuana), my exit script could return Tij to a property. I could then take that property and use it to kick off the logic of the language. My only problem is, how do you get a user exit script to run after I enter the computer name into the deployment wizard? CS.ini Computername = #TrunkComputerName#
UserExit = userexit.vbs userexit.vbs Function UserExit(sType, sWhen, sDetail, bSkip)
UserExit = Success
End FunctionFunction TrunkComputerName()
TrunkComputerName = Left(oEnvironment.Item("ComputerName"),3)
oLogging.CreateEntry "USEREXIT - Computer Name has been set to " & TrunkComputerName, LogTypeInfo
End Function

| Could you do it this way instead:
Before your first Install OS task, add a custom script that does something like:
Set oEnvironment = CreateObject("Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment")
oEnvironment("TruncatedComputerName") = Left(oEnvironment("COMPUTERDESCRIPTION"), 3)
And then use this new Task Sequence variable within your Task Sequence to do an "If" against the variable to see if it is set to "TIJ", and if it is then do one of your Spanish images, otherwise proceed to your other images? | | | |

| I tried doing something similar to that using a custom vbscript using Ben Hunter's example on his old blog. The script runs fine if I run it manually from the PE environment, but the task sequence blows up if I run it as part of the task sequence. I tried running your script, and I had no luck. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong. I have a lot of experience with MDT and a decent amount of experience with VBScript, but I don't have much experience combining the two.
