Subject: Re: [mssms] Help with task sequence variable logic

He is talking about a VB script which will take the first two characters of a 
computer name and put it in a task sequence variable, like 
OSDCompNameStartsWith. Then, you can make the step only run if that task 
sequence variable equals QI or RS.

The task sequence variable is already there. Not sure what you mean here?

Write a small vbscript to dump the first two characters to a task sequence 
variable and then query it

I have a couple of steps in our TS that I want to execute for one set of 
computers based on their naming convention, and another set of steps for 
another set of computers with a different naming convention. The two naming 
conventions start with:

QL-
RS-

If I use the argument under options, task sequence variable OSDComputerName 
greater than or equal to “QL-%”, both naming conventions match the requirement, 
and I don’t want that. If I just use equals, it doesn’t work at all.

Is there some other way to work this logic?
