Note: All references to OEMs below do not include Dell. Issue: -----The OEM add-ons for system hardware configuration utilize pre-configured templates to arrange steps in the task sequence in a proper order. When you add a new OEM step into a task sequence, it first checks to see if the task sequence already has any OEM steps in it. If there are no steps, it prompts you for automatic configuration of the steps.
