Hi all,
I have 2 problems with WDS 2013 that I need some help with. I'm deploying Windows 7 (OEM until the VL license is in place very soon, so no comments on that pls.!)
Let's start with the customsettings.ini:
[Settings]
Priority=DefaultGateway,Manufacturer,Default
[DefaultGateway]
192.168.31.1=SiteA
192.168.32.1=SiteB
192.168.33.1=SiteC

[Lenovo]
ProductKey=237XB-GDJ7B-MV8MH-98QJM-24367
[Default]
_SMSTSOrgName=Running %TaskSequenceID% on %OSDComputername%
KeyboardLocale=0406:00000406
OSInstall=Y
SkipComputerName=NO
Question 1:
According to the Gateway we pre-set the OSDComputerName with a name according to the naming convention. Later in the task sequence a number manually added (e.g. PC-A-321)
Notice _SMSTSOrgName=Running %TaskSequenceID% on %OSDComputername%
When the TS are running I only see "Running .... on PC-A-" and not "Running ... on PC-A-321".
I have tried to update _SMSTSOrgName in a task sequence, but it is not reflected in the UI.
So how do it make the UI reflect the update of the %OSDComputername% with the value manually entered?
Question 2:
I try to detect the Manufacturer and set the OEM license key (they are public SLP license keys). It does not seem to work.
If I manually create a task sequence for each OEM vendor and add the license key during the TS setup it works.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for any input!
