  • 1.  Changing Computer Description

    Posted May 13, 2016 05:13 AM

    Dear,

    how can I change the Computer-Description for one or more existing Client-PC´s?

    I can Change Computer-Name, Domain, IP and so on but I see no Input-Box for Computer-Description, is that right?
    Also in the Smaple-Import-File I can find no field for Computer-Description, even if that would ony help for new but not for exsiting Clients.

    I have some Applications that group my PCs according to the Description, which, in my case, contains the Building the PC is located in, while the PC-Names do not contain this info.

    Thanks in forward!

    You can change the Computer Description by using a "Run Script" task.

    Use the following script:

    @ECHO OFF
    REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanServer\Parameters" /v srvcomment /t REG_SZ /d "Description Information" /f

     

    Just enter what you want the description to be in place of "Description Information"

    Dear,

     

    thank you!

    I knew that way already.

    But this has to be a 2nd task and/or more effort "only" to transfer the right description to the Client.
    Why isn´t there a Box to fill that information in (or capture it from an existing Client) like it was in GSS 2.5?
    I think it´s only a small thing to bring it ionto the code, why did they left that out?

    Can I place a Feature-Requerst somewhere?

    I would reach out to David Evans who is the product manager for GSS to put in a feature request.
