Hi,

My clients boot xpe with remote boot feautre but all the clients get the
same name.
I tried to add "system cloning tool" component to my image but it didn't
resolve my problem, so how can
I change the computer name (and sid) ?

Best Regards,
Eyal Inbar.
 
eyal,

Check your PC HAL component (e.g. "Standard PC" if included) system identification setting. If "Computer name" field is left blank,
a unique name is generated for each computer or device during the first boot of the operating system. In this case, the registered
organization setting is used as part of this name synthesis.

However, what image do you remotely deploy? I believe it is a post-FBA image, right? Then the name has been already generated for
the image. You have to set "cmiGenerateComputerName" extended property of "System Cloning Tool" component to "1" in order to change
the name on next boot after the reseal phase.

thanks for you answer, but the property "cmiGenerateComputerName" already set to 1 but my
"computer name" still don't change when I boot my machine using remote boo

One stupid question.

Have you manually called Fbreseal before last shutdown if you are not using
reseal phase?

Well,

Because you need to do that so next time XPe is loaded cloning will begin
and during that your SID, etc will be changed.
