Get/Set Computer Name
I've used this task a bunch in the past (it's been a few years since I've used it) to automatically name machines with a text file, mac address = computer name, but now it's not working. I've got the setcomputername_x64.exe zipped up with the .txt file and I'm using the following command: SetComputerName_x64.exe /rdf:cak.txt /dfk:$Mac /debug
I also use sysprep creator & executor...where I join the machine to the domain. Is that my issue? That the computer needs to be named before it's joined to the domain? I've tried the naming task as a mid level and post install.
Any help would be great!

Is not good for the deployment to get hit with your GPO policies during the Deployment tasks.

This is set as a post install task, but it's not finding any of the computer information. I can see that when it goes through the debug. Should this be a mid level task? I've tried that too, but it hasn't worked yet. I used to use this task/process to name computers 5 years ago, but now it's just not working...thoughts? - ckeenan@smith.edu 5 years ago
