Hello,

how making an unattended dynamic file.

I'm trying to make an unattended dynamic file.

To change the name of machine dynamically each installation has.

thank you.

I dont have the code with me but it is pretty simple. What u have to decide/tell is in what environment your are creating the file in (DOS or WinPE -16/32)?

If you are in Win32 mode, u can use the nice feature of vb scripting which would function under WinPE, but in dos u r limited to pipe the command to a certain file.

I will get back to u once I get home, have the darn things back home on CD...

I would recommend u running the creation in WinPe if u have to option to do that. Then u can have a much nicer GUI and so on to look @ while creating the answer file.

Best Regards

Here is a vbs script that I wrote. You should execute it during your clean up cmd and it will prompt the user for

User Name

Company Name

Computer Name

Option Explicit

Set ws = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Dim ws, p1, p2, n, g, o, t, cn, cg, co

p1 = "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\"
p2 = "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName\"

n = ws.RegRead(p1 & "RegisteredOwner")
g = ws.RegRead(p1 & "RegisteredOrganization")
o = ws.RegRead(p2 & "ComputerName")
t = "Draco Networks - Personal Info & Computer Name"

cn = InputBox("Enter Your Full Name", t, n)
If cn <> "" Then
  ws.RegWrite p1 & "RegisteredOwner", cn
End If

cg = InputBox("Enter Your Company Name", t, g)
If cg <> "" Then
  ws.RegWrite p1 & "RegisteredOrganization", cg
End If

co = InputBox("Enter Computer Name", t, o)
If co <> "" Then
  ws.RegWrite p2 & "ComputerName", co
End If

Just copy it into a text file and name it ID.vbs
