Thank you for this great idea. This is something we are looking improve for Configuration Manager 2010. The 2007 Technical Preview now uses fixed-width fonts in the following areas of the console:
- Application scripts
- Configuration item scripts
- WMI-based collection membership queries
- CMPivot queries
- Scripts
- Task Sequence PowerShell scripts and command lines
Some additional fixes have also been made to further improve these scenarios:
- Resizable windows for viewing/entering scripts
- Using horizontal scrolling instead of word wrapping for scripts
Please try it out and send us a frown if there’s anything we missed or any other areas you’d like to see fixed width font support.

While editing a task sequence, it would he helpful if Child task sequences would stand out in the list on the left - either with a different icon, bold text (like folders), or both. Since a child TS is doing a lot more than one normal step would, it makes sense to make them stand out from other steps, so they're easier to find in a parent TS when needed.

This item seems to be asking for the same thing as this other UV request:
https://configurationmanager.uservoice.com/forums/300492-ideas/suggestions/34002790-directly-edit-child-task-sequencePerhaps we can combine the two and get this issue better visibility and higher votes?

this is a duplicate of https://configurationmanager.uservoice.com/forums/300492-ideas/suggestions/10138500-add-uninstall-application-option-to-tasksequence
that idea has over 1000 votes but hasn't been touched in over 3 years. sigh...

the lack of this feature is causing a lot of duplicate work, duplicate packages, and thus wasted space on distribution points. we already have an uninstall command line in each app's deployment type, so we should be able to use that in a task sequence as well!

Thanks for the suggestion. Updating status to Noted – see https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/configmgreng/2016/03/11/configmrguv/

another upvote for this. scripts are messy and if not done properly can leave security holes (powershell remoting in particular). if this was native, it'd be so much simpler and safer! And yes, please add the option to add/remove to/from multiple collections in a single step.

Hi. I’m setting the status back to Noted – this was mixed up with the item “Add support for TFTP Window Size” – that has been Started and is available in the 1603 tech preview build.
Thanks,

Any updates on this? With newer machines that don't have an ethernet jack (MS Surface series, Latitude 7370, plenty of others), PXE boot is painfully slow - ranging from 30 minutes to several HOURS (if it doesn't just fail outright). Would be great to have a cure for that, not to mention speeding up the 3-5 minute PXE boot times of other machines.

Hi,
Our 2010 Technical Preview is now released and contains a many improvements for the task sequence as deployment type.

This would be really useful in my environment because not all TSes are for OSD. For example, one of my TS is for updating the BIOS, but I only want our techs to be able to run it, not regular users. Right now I have a somewhat hokey password prompt in place to keep regular users out, but I have other TS that I'd like to restrict just to certain users/groups.

also useful for things like BIOS updates (so the TS can control the reboot). Everything else can be deployed to either a user or device collection, so why not a TS? not all TSes are for OSD.

would also be useful for a set of core apps that everyone gets, and you use in several task sequences, so that you could just update that one app (say, office, adobe reader, chrome, etc) in the app group just one time, instead of in all of your numerous task sequences. right now i kind of do this with child task sequences, but i think app groups would be a more efficient and proper solution for this.
