Task sequence steps based on the Capture Network Settings task sequence step allow you to capture network configuration settings for all network adapters on the target computer that have statically configured IP addresses for Refresh Computer deployment scenarios.

The LTI task sequence templates provided with MDT do not include a task sequence step based on the Capture Network Settings task sequence step type. For Refresh Computer deployment scenarios, add a task sequence step based on the Capture Network Settings task sequence step type in the State Capture phase.

Note   The settings captured by sequence steps based on the Capture Network Settings task sequence step in the Refresh Computer deployment scenario override any IP configuration settings specified in the CustomSettings.ini file or in the MDT DB.

To configure task sequence steps based on the Capture Network Settings task sequence step type

1.   Click Start, and then point to All Programs. Point to Microsoft Deployment Toolkit, and then click Deployment Workbench.

2.   In the Deployment Workbench console tree, go to Deployment Workbench/Deployment Shares/deployment_share/Task Sequences (where deployment_share is the name of the deployment share in which you will configure the task sequence).

3.   In the details pane, click task_sequence_name (where task_sequence_name is the name of the task sequence you want to configure).

4.   In the Actions pane, click Properties.

The task_sequence_name Properties dialog box opens (where task_sequence_name is the name of the task sequence you want to configure).

5.   On the Task Sequence tab, in the task sequence hierarchy, go to task_sequence_step (where task_sequence_step is the name of a task sequence that is a Capture Network Settings task sequence step type), and then click the Properties tab.

6.   On the Properties tab, configure the settings listed in Table 80 based on the requirements of your organization, and then click OK.
