This code is designed to create the framework for the Windows 8.1 OSD Task Sequence used in Chapter 11 of “Learn ConfigMgr 2012 in a Month of Lunches“.
The PowerShell cmdlet doesn’t perform the full amount of customisation which the reader does in the book’s lab environment, but it sets up the structure of the Task Sequence quite well, leaving very little post-script customisation to perform.
You can download the script directly from http://www.jamesbannanit.com/files/manning/CMTaskSequence.zip.
