skipping computer name in customsettings.ini

Hi, I have recently taken over deployments at a small company and the previous admin is gone and didn't leave much behind for me.

They were using a USB drive to deploy all of their machines with the LiteTouch wizard.

When I go through the wizard most of the values are populated and I find those entries in the customsettings.ini file.

However, the computer name is populated already and not in customsettings.ini.  If I leave the populated host name and continue through the wizard the machine builds with the correct username that was populated in the wizard.

I am working on PXE booting the machines from my Linux TFTP server and everything works fine but I'm having problems keeping the hostname that is in the field in the wizard. (not sure how it's being put there if not in customsettings).  I added "skipcomputername" in the customsettings.ini file but it basically ignores the name that was in the wizard and leaves me with the winpe name.

I know if I add "skipcomputername" I have to provide a value for OSDcomputername but don't know what to enter there so it will retain the username that is populated in the wizard.

I hope this makes sense and I'm digging around as much as I can.

Thanks in advance all,

Rob
