- If you do not choose to save the configuration to the package,
the configuration is saved as a string within the task sequence and
sent as a variable to the client during deployment. When this occurs,
it is noted in the task UI with the configuration parameter text "[Configuration
saved as a variable]".
The configuration can be saved as a file in the package instead by opening the editor and selecting the Save to a file in the toolkit package checkbox. Click OK to select the file.
