[SCCM2012OSD: Computer Name shows up as MINIIT-XXXXXX even when known]

Follow this....it works a treat.....SCCM will only name unknown computers to the MININT-XXXXXX that you are experiencing....If you attach this script to the TS after the partitoning of the disk and before the apply image it will prompt you to enter in a name for your bare metal machine(s)...thus preventing the MININT-XXXXXX naming convention.......You can leave the script attached to the TS all the time because if SCCM knows the name of the machine (already in the DB) then it will bypass the script and hold on the origional name of the machine(s)

That is the script that I've been using, however, that runs after my front end so the system stays MININT. I use it as a final verification that the system name has been named by the tech. However, I have extra options available to systems within the CM database (backup, USMT, etc), so when a system shows up as unknown, the only option is to image it as a unknown computer.

 

When using dynamic site media, the OSDComputerName variable will not populate. When using site-based media, it does populate as expected, with the system name from the CM Database.

For those with the same issue, if the media is created using dynamic sites, then this is what occurs. When I switched the media to be site based, it worked as expected.

As the title says, the ComputerName.vbs and scripts of the like that work in 2007 do not seem to be working in 2012.

 

MDT Task sequence, running Gather and %OSDComputerName% is being set to MININT-XXXXXX even though the computer is already known by SCCM and I'm reimaging the machine.

 

Any thoughts?

[Remove Win 7 "Getting Started" shortcut]

Hi, folks,

anyone know how can I remove the "Getting Started" shortcut from the Windows 7 Enterprise Start Menu for all users.

Can I do this via an unattend file (I couldn't find a setting in WSIM) or script?

Of course I can have each user right click and select 'Remove from this list', but there's got to be a better way.

Can't find any registry or policy setting for it (am I blind!).

PS, I have customised the oobefldr.dll file so it shows a completely custom set of links, which means I don't want to disable the control panel item; I just want to remove it from the Start Menu.

thanks,

 

I know this is an older post but I needed to know the answer myself. The link points "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Welcome Center.lnk". Simply deleting that .lnk file removes it from the start menu, but keeps the Control Panel icon.
