Hello,
I have RIS up and running, and configuring new XP builds via an answer file. It will go through to completion without errors, but with a problem. If I specify a computername (which I want to do), then it appears the computer name is changed after the OS installation, but the computer is not added back to the domain after the name change. Then I have to go through the "Welcome" Q&A, and then manually change the name. If I leave the computername alone, then it works ok. It gets added to the domain under the normal "Username1", and there are no problems. But I want to specify the computername in the .sif file, so that I dont have to go through changing the name post-installation. I have looked through all the answer file documentation, and I dont see a setting to change the computername during the CIW process, before the installation starts. If I could change it there, then I would not need to change it under the [userdata] section of the .sif file, and the computer would get the new name during the setup process, would be added to the domain, and have the OS installed. I think I would have two ways to do this: 1) Find a way to force a specific computer name to be used during the setup process, so that I would see a screen similar to this; The following settings will be applied..... Computer account: COMPUTER1 <--------Specified by me instead of "USERNAME1" Global Unique ID: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Server supporting the computer: RIS1 .................................................. ...... 2) Figure out how to add the computer back to the domain under the new name, post installation.
