Set computer name by MAC Address
If you have a small test environment, or simply want to assign settings to a very limited number of machines, you can edit the rules to assign settings directly for a given MAC Address. If you have many machines, it makes sense to use the database instead.
[Settings] Priority=MacAddress, Default [Default] OSInstall=YES [00:15:5D:85:6B:00] OSDComputerName=PC00075
In the preceding sample, you set the PC00075 computer name for a machine with a MAC Address of 00:15:5D:85:6B:00.
Set computer name by serial number
Another way to assign a computer name is to identify the machine via its serial number.
[Settings] Priority=SerialNumber, Default [Default] OSInstall=YES [CND0370RJ7] OSDComputerName=PC00075
In this sample, you set the PC00075 computer name for a machine with a serial number of CND0370RJ7.
Generate a computer name based on a serial number
You also can configure the rules engine to use a known property, like a serial number, to generate a computer name on the fly.
[Settings] Priority=Default [Default] OSInstall=YES OSDComputerName=PC-%SerialNumber%
In this sample, you configure the rules to set the computer name to a prefix (PC-) and then the serial number. If the serial number of the machine is CND0370RJ7, the preceding configuration sets the computer name to PC-CND0370RJ7.
Be careful when using the serial number to assign computer names. A serial number can contain more than 15 characters, but the Windows setup limits a computer name to 15 characters. |
Generate a limited computer name based on a serial number
To avoid assigning a computer name longer than 15 characters, you can configure the rules in more detail by adding VBScript functions, as follows:
[Settings] Priority=Default [Default] OSInstall=YES OSDComputerName=PC-#Left(“%SerialNumber%”,12)#
In the preceding sample, you still configure the rules to set the computer name to a prefix (PC-) followed by the serial number. However, by adding the Left VBScript function, you configure the rule to use only the first 12 serial-number characters for the name.
Add laptops to a different organizational unit (OU) in Active Directory
In the rules, you find built-in properties that use a Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) query to determine whether the machine you are deploying is a laptop, desktop, or server. In this sample, we assume you want to add laptops to different OUs in Active Directory. Note that ByLaptopType is not a reserved word; rather, it’s the name of the section to read.
[Settings] Priority=ByLaptopType, Default [Default] MachineObjectOU=OU=Workstations,OU=Contoso,DC=contoso,DC=com [ByLaptopType] Subsection=Laptop-%IsLaptop% [Laptop-True] MachineObjectOU=OU=Laptops,OU=Contoso,DC=contoso,DC=com
