Hi
I'm quite new to MDT (and for that matter WDS) and I've having two distinct issues.
The first revolves around the Computername or OSDComputername.
If I prompt for a computername prior to installation I can set what I want, eg 1234 and this will be used in the logging written back to the MDT logs folder. However when the machine is imaged it seems to come back with a random computername, of Desktop-xxxxx. So I'm wondering what is missing in the process?
What I'd really like however is a custom prompt to input the asset tag number and then build the Computer name from that, for example, out convention should be if a Desktop, DT+asset tag and if a laptop LT+asset tag. For example I use LT1345.
Is there anyway of creating a custom prompt and then appending that to a prefix based on device type? I found some suggestion online using the code (extracts) below but it doesn't seem to work for me.
[Settings]Priority=ByLaptop,ByDesktop,Default
[ByLaptop]
SubSection=Laptop-%Laptop%
ComputerType=LT
[ByDesktop]
SubSection=Desktop-%Desktop%
ComputerType=DT
[Default]
OSDComputername=%ComputerType%
As above though, this is only part of what I'd really like it to look like.
