Hi All, Hopefully this isn't too far off topic, but I'm trying to hack together a method to automatically capture a copy of our task sequences whenever they are modified for easy documentation and version control. Having some trouble and figured someone out there might be able to tell me what I'm doing wrong or provide a better solution all together.
So far I've been trying to combine the automagic task sequence documentor stylesheet from here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/deploymentguys/archive/2009/02/20/update-to-the-tasksequence-documentor.aspx?PageIndex=1#pi36647=2 and the WMI event subscription functions to kick off a script Powershell script whenever the TS gets modified. I used the PowerEvents PS module by Trevor Sullivan (http://powerevents.codeplex.com/) to build the WMI filter/consumer and it kicks off the following command line: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -executionpolicy unrestricted d:\Scripts\ExportPowershellTS.ps1 %TargetInstance.PackageID% ExportPowershellTS.ps1 looks like this: ## Set a parameter for the package ID param( [string]$TSPkgID ) ## Import the SCCM Powershell Module import-module "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminConsole\bin\configurationmanager.psd1" ## Change location to the SCCM site set-location XXX: ## Gather the timestamp $Timestamp = (Get-Date -Format s).Replace("/","-").Replace(":",".").Replace("T"," ") ## Gather the task sequence name property $TSName = (Get-CMTaskSequence -TaskSequencePackageID "$TSPkgID" | select -ExpandProperty Name) ## Gather the XML for the actual task sequence steps $TS = Get-CMTaskSequence -TaskSequencePackageID "$TSPkgID" | select -ExpandProperty Sequence ## Insert stylesheet to use on the top line of the task sequnce file Write-Output '<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="tsDocumentorv2.xsl"?>' | Out-File "D:\temp\$TSName $Timestamp.xml" ## Append task sequence Steps Write-Output $TS | Out-File "D:\temp\$TSName $Timestamp.xml" -Append So far it's half working, seems to be getting tripped up by the command line with the %TargetInstance.PackageID% variable. The variable isn't getting a value, so it's just creating a file with the style sheet info on the top line and the timestamp in the file name. It isn't able to gather the task sequence name or steps without that value. Eventually I'm planning to have the file and stylesheet zipped up and uploaded to a TeamSite page for people to track the TS changes that were made. ________________________________ This message is intended for the sole use of the addressee, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
