Status: offline 		Anyone know a way to suppress the "You have an optional OS Advertisement" popup when you dont make the OS advert mandatory?  I would like to have more than one Task sequence available for imaging however I dont want the pop up for the users to go ahead and re-image themselves again. 

Thanks!

Any other idea's?

Status: offline 		Make a custom frontend, or else hope Microsoft gets the next update for SCCM out the door soon. It stinks, but there's really not much of a choice if you want to try to supress the optional OS advertisements...

What I do is have a custom HTA frontend run at the start of the OSD process where our techs can pick a few things (like the desired OS image and the department name), and everything else is automated. My process then goes and creates an SCCM resource object if it doesn't exist and then puts it in the desired OS advertisement collection (we also do a lot of Active Directory manipulation to make sure everything is set for our specific environment). If a machine is imaged again the techs run through the frontend again and it'll move the resource object to another advertisement collection as needed (we actually delete the resource object and create a new one since we're not concerned about histories).

There's a basic HTA here: http://www.myitforum.com/articles/11/view.asp?id=11652 but you'll need to fluff it up a bit (I keep trying to get time to clean my fully customized HTA up and post it - let me know if that's something that might help and I can try to toss it up)...
