Hello,
We have WDS up and running on a recently setup server. Most of it is all defaults apart from the fact that we have added boot images and system images. We have an unattend file with the %MACHINENAME% in it, but for some reason it always generates a random name based on the info in the AD DS tab in the WDS server properties:
%61Username%#
Why would a reimaged computer not take the existing name if the unattend file says to do so?
Unattend file is called OOBEunattend.xml located in E:\Answer Files\WdsClientUnattend\
This is the first part that includes the %MACHINENAME% variable.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">
<settings pass="specialize">

Must be missing something...
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
