  • 1.  How to join computer to domain with pre-selected name?

    Posted Jan 08, 2011 08:53 AM

    Hello,

    If I create new computer named DESKTOP1 to Deployment Console, how I can make sure this computer is joined to domain with this name during image deployment process?

    We're using "sysprepped" WinXP image file which at the moment randomly generates computer name.

    Thanks!!

    You can add a Configuration Job after the image job and use the %computername% for using your computer name to join to the domain.

    More specifically please look at the below links.

    Great Article by Vortex - Pay special attention to the section "Preparing the Deployment Server" -  #4

    User Guide - PDF From Altiris for 6.9 SP4

    DS Variables - This shows you all of the variables you can use within DS.  Take note of %COMPNAME% (Case sensitive I think too)
