WinPE & Linux Based PXE


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi,

I'm currently playing with Windows PE 2005 and booting it from Debian Linux based PXE

(I do not use the Ram Image thing)

Is it possible to get a random generated computername in the winnt.sif file ?

I have looked and looked on google and here, and so far nothing about if its possible or not.

I have tried with Computername = *

But it only makes the computername be * instead of a random generated one.

Apparently not, when booting with linux pxe / binlsrv

I followed the guide from http://oss.netfarm.it/guides/pxe.php

My server spec's are:

Newest Debian

DHCP3-server

Samba

tftp-hpa

sherpya's binlsrv.py and other utils.

Everything works great, except the computername is not random but the one specificed in winnt.sif, even if its only * is uses the name * as the machine name which make the workstation service fail.
