Not for what I want to do. Simplified:
A remote site is defined as slow, but allowed to run a OSD-TS. If that TS is started, it figures, hey youre on a slow connection, are you sure? Not really what I want to do, but basically the TS should behave differently based on that. What do you think, can the client know? -R From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andreas Hammarskjöld Sent: Donnerstag, 22.

The client should know! When I wrote the BranchCache reporting engine I think I stumbled across it in WMI somewhere. If you really need it I can see if I can dig it up. //A From: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] [ <mailto:[email protected]> mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Marable, Mike Sent: den 22 januari 2015 15:40 To: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] Subject: RE: [mssms] Can a Task Sequence determine if the client is in a slow boundary? No, it was all tied to Nomad. If a machine was found to be in a slow site boundary that would trigger all of the Nomad actions (installing the client in WinPE, pre-caching content, using Peer Backup Assistant, etc.) If the script found that the IP address of the machine fell within one of the IP ranges of our slow boundaries we would set a task sequence variable SlowSite to TRUE. Then all of the Nomad related actions would key off of that variable.

We had to use a script to sort it out. We have a number of slow site boundaries, all IP range based. What we have done is to export out the boundaries into a CSV with starting address, ending address and name. During the task sequence we run a script that takes the IP address of the machine and looks it up within the CSV file. If it find that its IP address falls within one of the boundaries we set a task sequence variable that we can key off of showing that it is inside a slow boundary. There may be more elegant ways of doing it but it works for us.

Does a running TS provide somewhere if it is running using a slow boundary? -Roland ********************************************************** Electronic Mail is not secure, may not be read every day, and should not be used for urgent or sensitive issues The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain CONFIDENTIAL material.
