OSD Computer = ModelNumber-SerialNumber

[JJJackson]

I enabled powershell in the boot image and it worked perfectly (after I worked around some other unrelated issues!)

 

Thanks mate,

It's straight forward to enable, there should be a lot of guides out there.

Another take on this is the use of an 'Asset Tag' field in the bios.

In my environment I have a .wsf script that has been saved on the 'deployment root' and s called as part of the unknown device task sequence which works in two ways:

1) The script reads the asset tag from bios and removes any white spaces then outputs this to a variable 'AssetTag'

2) The computer name is produced using task sequence variable OSDCOMPUTER = D%AssetTag% or L%AssetTag%  dependant on Desktop or Laptop

Thanks Gavin,

 

Getting the assettag\serialnumber was the realitively "easy" part, getting the modelnumber was the bit I was struggling with.

 

Naming convention - %Model%%AssetTag%

 

The powershell script was the only way I could do this.
