Now that the CustomSettings.ini file is modified to return the configuration settings from the new column, you are ready to reference the new column in a task sequence step. You reference the new column as a task sequence variable in the task sequence step. The variable will have the same name as the column. For example, if you create a column named Zip_Code, the task sequence variable will be named Zip_Code.

Example: How Woodgrove Bank Referenced the New Column in a Task Sequence Step

Woodgrove Bank creates a custom task sequence step to run the antivirus setup program. As a part of the antivirus setup program, the antivirus server name can be provided by using the –server parameter and referencing the new column name as a task sequence variable (%AVSERVER%). The command line used to run the antivirus setup program is:

avsetup.exe -server %AVSERVER%
