Hm, that may get me to the same though.

If you see a chance that a TS-step somehow could return that and if only as
an error.

 

But usually a TS is checked as a whole and if something isn’t available it
fails in general, so maybe it can’t be done.

Subject: RE: [mssms] Can a Task Sequence determine if the client is in a
slow boundary?

 

Ok, will reply to only this one. So looked into it a bit, and as far as I
can tell the TS will never actually know if it’s on a slow or remote
boundary. Instead its each package referenced by the sequence that will be
considered fast or slow, and the TS advert/deployment info will determine
the right run/download action.

 

This is why you can start a TS but run into an error, since there is no
content available for whatever package being referenced. All packages are
checked at the start of the TS, and as far I can tell, there is no info
whether that package is local or not outside the logs. 

 

But still think you can get the MP to tell you whether the client is in a
fast or slow network boundary, but that doesn’t really apply to the
deployment settings as packages could still be local to that boundary. 

 

I might be wrong though, a bit confused after having 2 Pints for lunch. But
will check the SDK tonight and see what’s possible.

That’s like plan B. I would prefer to use what CM already knows, the
boundaries.

You would prefer that to, right? :)

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.

You guys have an idea on that?

Does a running TS provide somewhere if it is running using a slow boundary?
