Tried searching this forum, not surprisingly there's not much info for French unattended installs of Win2k3. I'm setting up couple racks of Blades, trying to get Unattend.txt to spawn a computername of 15 characters, pulling the rack and bay numbers from the iLO boards. My string entry in Unattend.txt is: ComputerName = %#!computer@right(name,15)% Thing is, this works perfectly for the English version of Server 2003, but the French version simply doesn't recognize it as a string variable...it's reading it as a simple text computername, then throws me an error about invalid characters (of course). Tried with and without quotes, even tried a simple %name% string. Even tried translating the words within the string (ha!), still no dice Anybody know how to write this (or any) variable as a recognizable string for French Windows ? Thanks
