I believe what Jason was suggesting was to write a small VB script that would just pull the first two characters from the computer name and assign that to a new variable.
Then you’re steps could use logic something like this: IF %CompNamePreFix% = QL IF %CompNamePreFix% = RS Mike From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Murray, Mike Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2014 11:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [mssms] Help with task sequence variable logic The task sequence variable is already there.

If I just use equals, it doesn’t work at all. Is there some other way to work this logic?
