Some help with TS Variable for Computer Name

[scumi]

Hello all,

 

i've been using SCCM to Deploy a image of our XP Machines. Works pretty well except for one thing.

We identify our machines by our site codes, which differ for each country. Now i want to deploy software during my OSD TS only to choosen countries.

The machine is named and joined a domain already.

I want it to be decieded by the computer name it has.

 

What I tried is using if normal TS Variable _SMSTSMachineName equals "XXX%" where the XXX identifies the site, followed by model and our own unid. That did not work as he could not find a match here. I've tried on reading up on MS and other forum but somehow i do not get further with that question.

 

Maybe someone can shoot me a hint in that direction.

 

Any help is appriciated. Thanks!

 

Cheers

Is this for a WMI query? Did you try using "LIKE" instead of "EQUALS"?

I wanted to use a normal TaskSequence Variable. If you choose that in the TS it offers you only equals or greater than etc...

 

I don't know if i could use a normal WMI query as I am not sure that the computer name object is already set then?

 

I ahve attached a picture to maybe make my problem more clear hopefully.

 

Thanks!

I believed i have solved the issue by going a WMI Query:

 

select * from Win32_ComputerSystem where Caption like 'HFI%'

 

In theory it works, i have to test it now in my deployment.
