    Kris,

    Have a look over here:

    How to hide/show task sequence for specific users/user groups?

    MDT Restricting the available Task Sequences by user - by Ward Vissers

    I think this should get you going, if you create multiple users who can initiate the deployment of MDT you can specify which user can see which TS.

    Good luck!

    Keep us posted, and if helpful please rate! Kind regards

    Ren,

    Thank you for responding to my post. I did review those before I posted but I'm not looking for User based control.

    Basic reason I want to hide is I have a TS to run Backup but I don't want that to run when its run under NEW Computer.

    Thanks

    Try this.

    Create 2 Folders under Task Sequence.
    - Test1 (Add all Task sequences here including Backup TS)
    - Test2 (Add all Task sequences here excluding Bakckup TS)

    Now Create 2 Selection Profiles.
    - Sel1 (Which includes everything + task sequences [Test1 only]
    - Sel2 (Which includes everything + task sequences [Test2 only]

    Edit CustomSettings.ini like this. The below will gather the OSVersion first and then based on it will call the selection profile. As the selection profiles will display different TS, you would not see the backup TS in Windows PE.

    [Settings]
    Priority=OSVersion,Default
    Properties=MyCustomProperty

    [WinPE]
    WizardSelectionProfile=Sel2
    DeploymentType=NEWCOMPUTER

    [XP]
    WizardSelectionProfile=Sel1
    DeploymentType=REFRESH

    [Default]
    OSInstall=Y
    SkipCapture=NO
