Well your a little bit off topic and in the wrong forum
but since you gave the team their well deserved praise...

in winnt.sif use an asterisk and it will generate a random alphanumeric name

[UserData]
ComputerName=*

You can also do somthing like:

ComputerName=Temp*

this will yeild somthing like

Temp-a19988f020d

We are glad your here - Welcome aboard!

PS since you have a shop this may interest you too DriverPacks post install driver updater

hi i am a new member of this forum and a new user of the driver packs system i have a small computer shop in the UK and used to spend a lot of time downloading drivers on new and repaired computers your
program has helped me a great deal over the last few weeks and saved me about 60 hours of work
so a big thank you to all of you.
i have a question that you may be able to help with is it possible to have the setup give each computer a different name when running unattended the reason i ask is i sometimes run 3 or 4 installs at the same time on the work bench and having all computers with the same name makes the network they are connected to have a fit
thanks for your hard work and great site
Andy
