h4x0r Posted May 17, 2012 Report post Posted May 17, 2012 I believe something like that would be possible with MDT integration, through use of customsettings.ini and the OSDComputerName variable there...I could be wrong, but it might be a place to start looking Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyweb Posted May 17, 2012 Report post Posted May 17, 2012 you can use a webservice to do this and i use Michael Niehaus's webservice to do this in my example HTA here. The logic is stored in the task sequence and HTA frontend code, all you have to do is create the webservice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingen Posted August 27, 2012 Report post Posted August 27, 2012 I do seriously not get, why microsoft have not thought about this.. Ofc there should be something in the TS enabling automatic computer names. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter van der Woude Posted August 27, 2012 Report post Posted August 27, 2012 The biggest reasonis that if you have ten companies, you've got ten naming conventions for computers... There is no one solution fits all with this, not even close, that's why there are so many scripts, hta's and tools in the community for that.

There are many things in System center products that doe's not fit all companies/envoirments, but they are always optional 'Auto OSD name' should be a optional feature in SCCM no dobut, it's sucha big part of OSD in general.

n00blar Posted August 28, 2012 Report post Posted August 28, 2012 At my company I use DELL's asset label (not the asset tag) for the computer's account name in active directory. We set the asset label during our BIOS setup, and then my script extracts this value and assigns it to the SCCM variable for the computer name. If there is no asset label configure in BIOS, the entire process stops. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Config Mangler Posted August 29, 2012 Report post Posted August 29, 2012 We do this by importing the MAC and final computer name into SCCM and the build will rename the computer automatically. This works well except when using a CD build. We have found that it does not rename the computer from MININT-xxxxxxx to the proper name in maybe 10% of cases. This was logged with MS Premier support and has been accepted as a bug. A fix will be included in SCCM 2012 SP1 due in October. There is no problem when using a client or PXE build.

I totally agree with you - thats why I have taken my project on codeplex bit further and now have written custom console extension for SCCM that enables you to control autonaming directly from TS GUI editor I just finished that for CM2007 - but I plan to finish the same extension for CM2012 till end of november Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
