Config_Mgr_noob Posted February 11, 2014 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 I have had SCCM 2012 OSD working for the past 4 months. Up until last week, OSD does not prompt to enter computer name on a PC that has already been imaged. In other words, when imaging a new PC, the prompt comes up and ask for a computer name. However, when I re-image the same PC, the OSD skips the 'OSDComputerName' and continues imaging. When the imaging process is completed, the PC has the name of the previous image session. When I delete the computer object from the SCCM "Device" collection, it prompts me to enter the computer name. Why is SCCM re-associating the PC to the computer name in its database when I'm trying to re-image the PC? Has anyone encountered this issue? I was able to re-image the same PC over and over again without having the OSDComputerName skipped. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Man Posted February 11, 2014 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 You are refreshing the PC. That's the way SCCM works... if the system is known and it is refreshed it holds the existing name... When you delete it, SCCM treats it as a new system thus the prompt pops up.

Config_Mgr_noob Posted February 11, 2014 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 Thanks for your reply RocketMan, but I had it working properly prior to last week. I was able to re-image the same PC over and over again in one day without the OSDComputerName prompt being bypassed. It should be prompting me everytime I begin an OSD session in case one user is transferred, quit, or let go. Otherwise, the old computer name would be applied to a new employee or workstation with that previous employee's PC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Config_Mgr_noob Posted February 11, 2014 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 Using the user's names and first initial of last name. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Man Posted February 11, 2014 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 How are you achieveing this is what I mean, a script? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Config_Mgr_noob Posted February 11, 2014 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 By setting a Collection Variable to "OSDComputerName" to All Unknown Computers within the Device Collections. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Man Posted February 11, 2014 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 Well the symptoms you are getting now is correct. The OSD computer name variable is applied to the unknown computers so any unknown computers will recieve this prompt. Any known system will not. How are you deploying new computers.. via unknown computer support on importing the system details? You have a task sequence deployed to the unknown computers collection as available, this works for a new system and a deleted system.... but surely when you were re-imaging before this you had a task sequence deployed out to another collection that these re-imaged PCs were in.... cuz I can't see how SCCM would allow you to re-image and re-image the same system over and over again and allow you to rename it different at the same time just by using the OSDCOMPUTERNAME variable attached to the unknown computer collection Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Config_Mgr_noob Posted February 11, 2014 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 Than how would we go about re-imaging PCs with the same task sequence and image and prompt us for a new computer name? I've done this several times already as well as in my previous job where we can reimage the same PC and it will still prompt us for computer name Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Man Posted February 11, 2014 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 You can re-image the same system over and over again by having one TS deployed to the unknown Computer Collection?? Am I getting you right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
