tsystems Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I have created a riprep image and edited the riprep.sif file to include the product key, company name etc etc but I want it to prompt me for the computer name during its install or specify, that the name will be something like "ComputerXYZ", where XYZ is the last octet of the IP address given by the DHCP. (the IPs are static aasignet to MAC addresses). I have tried having a blank entry in the "computername=" line and leavingit out all together but the image just errors with: "the entry computername is missing or corrupt"any ideas?

dcatcha Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Try using this in your SIF file:ComputerName=%MACHINENAME%Then when using RIS choose custom install then you can type in your computers name.-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
