0
|
_SMSTSLastActionSucceeded
|
The variable is set to true if the last action succeeded and to false if the last action failed. If the last action was skipped because the step was disabled or the associated condition evaluated to false, this variable is not reset, which means it still holds the value for the previous action.

Example:
HJT00001
|
_SMSTSPackageName
|
Stores the current running task sequence name specified by the Configuration Manager 2007 administrator when the task sequence is created.
Example:
Deploy xpsp2 task sequence
|
_SMSTSRunFromDP
|
Set to true if the current task sequence is running in run-from-distribution-point mode, which means the task sequence manager obtains required packages from distribution point shares.
|
_SMSTSSiteCode

Example
For the Eastern Time U.S. and Canada, the value would be 300,0,-60,0,11,0,1,2,0,0,0,0,3,0,2,2,0,0,0,Eastern Standard Time,Eastern Daylight Time

Specifies whether the task sequence uses the certificate revocation list when it uses a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificate to communicate with the management point.
|
_SMSTSUserStarted
|
Specifies whether a task sequence is started by a user. This variable will only be set if the task sequence is started from the Configuration Manager 2007 client. For example, if _SMSTSLaunchMode is set to SMS. The variable can have the following values:
- true - specifies that the task sequence is manually started by a user from the client Run Advertised Programs program.
- false - specifies that the task sequence is initiated automatically by the Configuration Manager 2007 scheduler.
|
_SMSTSUseSSL
|
Specifies whether the task sequence uses SSL to communicate with the Configuration Manager 2007 management point. If your site is running in native mode, the value is set to true.
|
SMSTSErrorDialogTimeout

When an error occurs in a task sequence, a dialog box is displayed that is dismissed automatically after a default time-out value. Use this variable to specify a time-out value in seconds other than the default of 15 minutes.
|
SMSTSRebootDelay
|
Specifies how many seconds to wait before the computer restarts. The task sequence manager will display a notification dialog before reboot if this variable is not set to 0.

Example:
This computer is being rebooted by the task sequence manager.
|
SMSTSRebootRequested
|
Indicates that a reboot is requested after the current task sequence step is completed. If a reboot is required, just set this variable to true, and the task sequence manager will restart the computer after this task sequence step. The task sequence step must set this task sequence variable if it requires a reboot to complete the task sequence step. After the computer is rebooted, the task sequence will continue to run from the next task sequence step.
|
SMSTSLocalDataDrive
|
Specifies where temporary files are stored on the destination computer while the task sequence is running.
|
SMSTSRetryRequested
|
Requests a retry after the current task sequence step is completed. If this task sequence variable is set, the SMSTSRebootRequested must also be set to true. After the computer is restarted, the task sequence manager will rerun the same task sequence step.
