  • 1.  DS 7.1 Computer Name Token Replacement

    Posted Dec 19, 2011 11:07 AM

    Using DS7.1 SP1 I'm trying to get token replacement to work on my unattend file. I've set my unattend file to use @compname token for the computer name. I understand the REM Replace Tokens from 6.9 no longer works. What can I do to have the token replaced? 

    I know if I use the built in deploy image task with a custom sysprep file using the token it will replace it. However I can't use the built in deploy image task because of image storage issue so I have to use series of scripts to deploy the image. Thanks

    Hi SamTarr,

    To get an example for a Token Replacment Process in DS 7.1 SP1 install the Samples: 
    https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/downloads/deployment-solution-samples-v71-sp1-smpcms-71-x64 on your DS 7.1 SP1. In Jobs and Task you will find a example for the Token Replacement Process

    Contents:

    Several core "tasks" that are used, and re-used in jobs

    Prebuilt jobs to perform:

    • Capture Windows 7 Enterprise image
    • .........

    4 New Tokens:

    • UUID
    • Computer ID
    • Serial Number
    • Task Server

    Custom Tasks to:

    • Token Replacement task (eg for Sysprep/unattend files)
    • ....

    For a complete List of Tokens use this link: http://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/tokens-deployment-solution-7x

    Be aware that the install of the samples add 4 additional Tokens listed above...

    Thanks! The token replacement script from the samples worked.
