  • 1.  rename computers

    Posted Jun 13, 2007 11:36 AM
    I am trying to work out a automated way of imaging our new computers when they come in.  i think I have a good grasp on app installation, security patches, etc.  I am wondering how other people are renaming computers.  We have a database that will have the MAC address and a premade computer name.  i am not sure how to get this process to automate.  are/how all of you tackling the naming of your machines?  thanks

    if you are using gss 2 then look up in the pdf file imp_guide I believe the structure of ghregupd.reg file.  You can create one via some script and then run ghconfig.exe in dos to name a machine after its imaged and before it even boots in to the target OS.
     
    You can also use WMI after its imaged and booted in to windows (assuming windows is your target OS)
