Computer Description

[JmcClain_MI]

Is it possible to add the computer description(under Network Identificiation) during the Sysprep Process?

Sure you can use SYSPREP to execute a vbscript like this:

Dim adsinfo,nw

Set adsinfo = CreateObject("adsysteminfo")

Set ThisComp = GetObject("LDAP://" & adsinfo.ComputerName)

Set oUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & adsinfo.UserName)

wscript.echo ThisComp.Description

Thiscomp.put "description", oUser.department & "-" & adsinfo.UserName

ThisComp.Setinfo

to set the computer description. Call the vbScript from the GuiRunOnce section of the SYSPREP.INF file.

Question:

how is the script going to know what user name to load into the description, if done at GuiRunOnce won't it pickup either SYSTEM or the Administrator account?
