You can create a task sequence to include all of the tasks to build and capture an operating system image. The appliance Task Engine runs the tasks on the target devices in a reliable order and reports deployment feedback on the appliance and on the target devices. Task sequencing enables you to view which image was deployed to which device and to view the progress of tasks running on a device. If a task fails, you can edit the task on the target device.

You can use the built-in pre-installation, mid-level, and post-installation tasks, and add your own tasks to scripts that you can run in a task sequence. You can create a task sequence for automated boot action scripted installation, and for system image, multicast, manual, and custom deployments.

Create the task sequence on the System Image Detail, Scripted Installation Detail, or Custom Deployment Detail page under the Installation Plan. When building the task sequence, remember to place the prerequisites before the applications that require them.
