Hi All, I was wondering what the best approach would be to assign multiple machines each with their own unique computer name during my deployment. I have been given the responsibility to deploy about 100 computers in an environment and needed to assign different computer names to each machine. Currently I have a setup using MDT for the actual deployment and WDS that is used for the PXE boot. Is there a way (preferable without using a PowerShell script) that I can deploy these machines? Boss Dr 880 Midi Files on this page. The reason I say preferably without PowerShell script is because I'm a rookie with scripting.

BIOS Serial Number as Computer name in Sysprep. Was that the computer name of the machine had to be equal to that of the machine's serial number. Oct 11, 2012 - Currently I have the unattend naming the computer randomly and also joining it to the domain. As a postinstall taskI am using WSName to change the name in the domain to the systems Service Tag (or Ser. I am a beginner in Power shell and I am trying to automatically name the computer from a name.cvs file. What I have is two columns that says serial number. Apr 12, 2013 - By adding this line, you simply tell MDT to set the computername to the value you've just defined. Where MDT will find the%SerialNumber% value? Basically, MDT will run a series of scripts that will be performing wmi queries and store the results into variables.%SerialNumber% is one of the variable.

If there is any other way to do this, please let me know! Thanks for any help you guys can provide! Hi Jorgen, Thanks for your input. I will check it out and get back to you as to whether or not it worked. Crack 90 more. One question I do have though: When I'm deploying using MDT to reference a SQL db, would I need to use the Asset tag, UUID, MAC address or Serial Number?

The reason I ask this is because my company is setting up a brand new rack of servers and they need a fresh copy of Server 2008 R2 (or Server 2012) and I wasn't sure which variable to configure in the db so that the machines can be identified and deployed to accordingly. For test purposes I used a MAC address of a local server and it worked perfectly. I was told however that the MAC addresses for the VMs that will be created on the hosts (blades) will be dynamically assigned so using a MAC address might lead to some confusion. Thanks again - I appreciate the help!
