Configure UDI Task Sequences to Deploy Different Operating Systems

The VolumePage page in built-in UDI stage groups allows you to select from any operating system images that you have configured in the UDI Wizard Designer. However, the task sequence created by the Create MDT Task Sequence wizard references only one specific operating system image in the Apply Operating System Image task sequence step.

When you select the operating system image on the VolumePage page, the UDI Wizard sets the OSDImageName task sequence variable to the value of the image name that was selected. The value of the OSDImageName task sequence variable corresponds to the name of the operating system image in the Operating System Images or Operating System Installers nodes in the Configuration Manager console.

You can configure a UDI task sequence to support the operating systems you have added to the VolumePage page by performing the following steps:

1. Rename the existing Apply Operating System Image task sequence step to reflect the name of the operating system image being deployed.

2. Configure a condition for the existing Apply Operating System Image task sequence step that will only run the step when the OSDImageName task sequence variable is equal to the name of the operating system image being deployed.

3. For each operating system that has been added to the VolumePage page, perform the following steps:

a. Add a new Apply Operating System Image task sequence step that reflects the name of the operating system image to be deployed.

b. Configure a condition for the new Apply Operating System Image task sequence step that will only run the step when the OSDImageName task sequence variable is equal to the name of the operating system image to be deployed.

After performing these steps, when the user selected an operating system image on the VolumePage page, the corresponding Apply Operating System Image task sequence step will be run and deploy the appropriate operating system image.
