Hi

Does anyone know how to change the computer name from the default when creating an XPE image

Regard
ms
 
It's possible through code to change a computers name. I create a name based
on a prefix with the mac address appended to it. XP Embedded will generate a
name for you that is unique, but I don't like this because the same computer
will generate a different name if you ever re-deploy the image on it.

You can set the default computer name for all images in your Computer component. For example my image uses 'ACPI Uniprocessor PC' component. Go to the settings tree node in the centre pane to select the settings and then expand the 'System Identification' section in the right hand pane.
 
ms,

Within TD, you can set Computername in component "Standard PC",
Settings, System Identification.

HTH, Roy
 
BTW: You may not have "Standard PC". That is one of a few (7?) HAL
components. You'll want to find the component that contains "hal.dll" for
your build. It is often Standard PC, but doesn't have to be.
