Hello all, I hope everyone's new year is going well for them.
In our environment we have one parent domain and two child domains. For example we have test.com, alpha.test.com and beta.test.com. We have separate defined prefixes for each domain and we have separate task sequences for each domain. I am trying to combine the task sequences into one. We have OSDCOMPUTERNAME set as a task sequence variable on the unknown computer collection so we have to name the computer at the start of the task sequence. For example a group called Join Test Domain, Join Alpha Domain, and Join Beta domain. Under each of the groups is the appropriate Apply Network Settings to get it to join the selected domain. I have tried using both WMI query and task sequence variables to filter the computers to the correct domain based off their prefix or their name. For the WMI query I have used "Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem where Name like "A%" and for task sequence variable I have used OSDCOMPUTERNAME Like "A*", neither of these two methods have worked because even thou we named the computer at the start of the TS the computer names are still showing in the log as MININT-XXXX. Any suggestions on how I would need to call on the OSDCOMPUTERNAME that we used at the beginning of TS? At the start of the TS I have tried to set the task sequence variable to OSDCOMPUTERNAME just like we have on the the Unknown computer collection but it is not prompting me to enter a computer name.
I am grateful for any any help or advise, thanks.
