    Updating status to started. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/configmgr/core/understand/find-help#send-a-suggestion for an explanation of each value.

    Configmgr 2003 Technical Preview released today and has a new SDK method for task sequence progress.

    For more info:
    Doc: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/configmgr/core/get-started/2020/technical-preview-2003#bkmk_tsapi
    Blog: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/configuration-manager-blog/onboard-clients-to-microsoft-defender-atp-using-memac-and/ba-p/1266085

    This should address some of the asks here, please try it out and let us know your feedback.

    Please add this, we have a number of appx apps in our environment now that we can't install during OSD.

    When we right click on a device or user in the console, there should be an option to copy the name to the clipboard (and ctrl-c) in the context menu so we can copy/paste the name easily somewhere else.

    David, I think the biggest reason people still use programs is for scripts that are difficult to provide a detection method for. Maybe this could be solved by allowing an application to optionally not use a detection method? Like a checkbox in the detection method tab that says "Use detection method for this application".

    I like this idea but maybe leave "continue on error" as is and add a "Prompt to continue on error" which like you described would give the option to continue the TS, but also the option to end (fail) the TS so they can start over or check logs, if desired.

    I agree. When creating an application deployment you can select the uninstall, so I wouldn't think it would be too difficult to add the same function to a task sequence.

    Hi,

    Updating status to started – see

    Our 2002 release added _TSSecureBoot
    See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/understand/find-help#send-a-suggestion

    Use this variable to determine the state of secure boot on a UEFI-enabled device. The variable can have one of the following values:

    NA: The associated registry value doesn’t exist, which means the device doesn’t support secure boot.
    Enabled: The device has secure boot enabled.
    Disabled: The device has secure boot disabled.

    For TPM that’s achievable with task sequence conditions – I’ll look to add something to the Community Hub to demonstrate.

    I had this problem too. Was unable to run the power shell cmdlet Get-AppxProvisionedPackage in the detection method because it did not have elevated permission. Really, the detection method should run as system regardless of if the application installs as user or system.
