Renaming computers in Sysprep

[Guest]

As part of an XP rollout I am looking for a way to automatically provide a unique name to each workstation. Can this be done using Sysprep?

Sysprep can automatically generate a name for the computer if you add this
directive to the Sysprep.inf file:

[UserData]
ComputerName = *

The name will be based on the Company Name you provide. If your Company
Name in Acme, it will likely generate a name like ACME-1234ABC, for example.

Is there a way to modify the answer file so that it will prompt you for a unique computer name of your own choosing?
