All the laptops we have here at work are IBM laptops that contain serial information found in the BIOS. *thanks to a lot of help & documentation found on this site* I have successfully created an unattended CD that is shared amongst our Network Admins. We have agreed on a standard convention for naming computers (which contains the model of the laptop, the serial and whether it is a workstation or server) So a computer name could look something like this: WS-R40-AKY7883 (Workstation-Model-Serial) This information can be found in the BIOS (the model and serial number). In my unattended CD, it joins the computer to the domain, but it is always the same computer name specified in the winnt.sif file (i think thats the file). Is there a way i can take the BIOS information, and use that as a computer name while joining the domain? or at least, during the application install part of my unattended CD, take the serial & model from the BIOS and rename the computer name with the same BIOS info (but using VB script or something)?
