Renaming workstation after WDS image?


Recommended Posts

Posted

All,

 

Just finished setting up my WDS server to image XP workstations. I created a

sysprep.inf unattended file, syspreped the machine and captured, then imaged

the machine. Everything worked out fine, except to rename the machine to

"mycompany-XXX". I set the properties in WDS to set the format of the

renaming to the correct syntax "mycompany-%03#" but every time I image up a

workstation, it would give me "mycompa-ANXB" or something like that.

Is my sysprep.inf incorrect? I set the "ComputerName=*" Shouldn't WDS be

doing this correctly?

 

Also, I set in WDS to join the workstation to a certain folder object in AD

but it still puts it in the "Computers" object by default.

 

Thanks for any info!
