Random hostname ?

[mareg]

Hello there !

just a small question.

[UserData]
   OrgName="mycompany"
   ComputerName="*"

So my computers names are like "mycompan-xxxxxx" where 'xxxxxx' is a random string.

I need to have a hostname with only 6 letters (due to my imaging server..)

So is it possible to set the number of letter that setup will generate randomly ?

And ever more (maybe it's too much) is it possible to set a fix string and a random one ? Like 'ABCxxx' with 'xxx' for random ?

If you are using PE (WinPE/BartPE), you can create simple script...

In you unattended.sif, create

Computer=**ComputerName**

Now pick some utility for replacing text and replace **ComputerName** with variable %Random%...
