Re: Windows 7 error with %ldHostname% entry in the unattended file

I may be confused so I will state the question as I see it and someone can correct me as needed.

 

" I need to be able to name the PCs that I am imaging so that once they are finished with the provisioning process they show up in LANDesk with the name I chose."

 

We use Bare Metal config for the new PCs and simply drag them into the OS Provisioning task. I then have %Computername% in the Device name within the image file. LANDesk has added the portion that you are interested in automatically within the script file. Look for the example Windows 7 script(s) used in Roy Meyer's post on setting up OS Provisioning. I used them and had good results.

 

  An excerpt from the base of my script is below. Remember to only use a 64 bit unattend with a 64 bit release.

 

<settings pass="specialize">

    <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" publicKeyToken="<SomeNumberYoursWillDiffer>" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" processorArchitecture="amd64">

      <ComputerName>%ldHostname%</ComputerName>

    </component>

 

   I can provide the entire script if required.
