It's still there, but I wouldn't use it with any but SMS 2003.. :) It's "left-over" as far as I know... and it's been a few years, but I know looked at using it in 2007 and it doesn't work the same way that it did with 2003, so I stopped using it.
What are you trying to accomplish as the total result, might be an easier way to do it?

Any ideas why that would not be populating? -Phil From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Schwan, Phil Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2013 4:38 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [MDT-OSD] SMSDP Variable I know there's a %SMSDP% variable usable in MDT integrated Task Sequences that basically returns the DP that the boot image was downloaded from (which would also typically correspond to the DP the machine would be downloading the rest of the content from). Running through a TS in my lab (CM2012 SP1 CU3, MDT2012U1) it doesn't appear this variable exists or is being populated. Can somebody verify that this is still a valid Task Sequence variable?
