Set Icon for Task Sequences and Packages

 Configuration Manager 2203 introduces custom icon support for task sequences and packages. You can set icons for task sequences and packages in SCCM to be shown in Software Center.


One of the new features of SCCM 2203 is you can add or assign an icon to a task sequence and also set iconicons individual packages. Previously, SCCM task sequences and legacy packages would always display a default icon in Software Center.


With many users requesting this feature, you can now set SCCM software icons for task sequences and legacy packages. These custom icons appear in Software Center on client computers for users when you deploy these objects.


You may also edit the existing task sequences or packages and assign an icon that will be reflected in Software Center for users. Ensure you upgrade to SCCM 2203 to use this feature.


Microsoft ConfigMgr team believes that instead of a default icon, a custom icon can improve the user experience to better identify the software.
