Hello friends:

I have setup Windows 2003 RIS server and I am trying to deploy Windows XP to
the client computers. But during the installation process I would not get a
prompt to enter client computer name, instead RIS is automatically assigning
Administrator1, 2,3.... machine name. Is there anyway I can edit the SIF
file so that I can enter custom computer name during the installation
process?

Thanks for your help.
 
You set this in Group Policy for the OU containing the user running the
install. It's under User Configuration / Windows Settings / Remote
Installation Services.
