Just recently I went through the CM12 Console Task Sequence media creation wizard several times a day, so at some point I thought, this is a good candidate for automation.
If you have CU1 for SCCM 2012 SP1 already installed, you can take advantage of the new cmdlet New-CMTaskSequenceMedia Below an example.

import-module ($Env:SMS_ADMIN_UI_PATH.Substring(0,$Env:SMS_ADMIN_UI_PATH.Length-5) + '\ConfigurationManager.psd1') cd NL1: New-CMTaskSequenceMedia -BootableMediaOption -MediaInputType CDDVD -ProtectPassword $false -BootImageId NL100002 -DistributionPointServerName labsccm01.labhome.local -ManagementPointServerName labsccm01.labhome.local -MediaMode Dynamic -MediaPath C:\Sources\TSMedia\batchcreatedmedia1.iso -MediaSize SizeUnlimited -EnableUnknownSupport $false  -CreateMediaSelfCertificate $true -AllowUnattendedDeployment $false -UserDeviceAffinity DoNotAllow |
If you haven’t installed CU1 yet, no worries. the command line tool CreateMedia.exe located in the SCCM Administrator Console’s bin directory does the same thing.
CreateTaskmedia.cmd

A detailed description of the command line options available for CreateMedia.exe is documented here.
