Microsoft introduced a new feature in the ConfigMgr production version 2010 that allows you to view the list of task sequence sizes in the Configuration Manager console. Most of the time you might be experienced an extremely large task sequence that exceeds the limit for the task sequence file size displays an error.

Starting in version 2010, Configuration Manager restricts the following actions for a task sequence in the site database that’s greater than 2 MB in size –

  • Save changes in the task sequence editor.
  • Save changes with PowerShell cmdlets.
  • Import a new task sequence.
  • Any other change using supported SDK methods.
