Deploy Windows 7 without giving it a name

I am currently deploying a Windows 7 Image using a Task Sequence. It works GREAT. What I would like to do is to deploy the image to spare computers and not name them. That way I can just pull the computer from my stock and name it at my users location when I deploy the computer at his/her desk. I would like to also do it with my Windows XP deployments. Is there something in the Unattend.xml and Sysprep.inf file I can change to make this happen?

 

I am currently not specifying any ComputerName in Unattend.xml or Sysprep.inf. It some how magically gets it from the task.

How does your task sequence look?

I think one of those steps give your computer the name.

If you want to skip that you probably need to skip more settings like domain join etc. and do them manually.

 

Did you consider just renaming the computers?
