Workstation Name
Zen 3.2 sp3/Netware 5.1 sp7/Windows 9x PC's
Importing workstations is working fine except for a naming anomaly. We
are using ComputerName + MAC as the object name, and when registered,
the workstations name registers as the name of the original image, not
the actual computer name.
Here is the scenario:
LabPC01 is our master image. We then put that image on the other 9 (or
however many) PC's in a lab, and rename the PC's to LabPC02,
LabPC03...LabPC10.
Upon Registering the PC's all ten register with the correct MAC address,
but with the wrong name:
LabPC01 00:02:03:04:05:AF
LabPC01 00:02:03:04:0B:D4
LabPC01 00:02:03:04:B5:FA
....
LabPC01 00:02:03:04:22:AB
I have searched the registry, and the only place the old name appears is
in the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
Media\WMSDK\General\ComputerName
I apologize if this information is readily available in the
documentation, but I am trying to determine where the Zenworks
Registration process gets the computer name from so that I can ensure
future workstations import with the correct name. My first guess was
that the key above must be the place, but I was not sure why the name
would come from this location. (Note this problem exists only in Win
9x, not XP).
Thanks for any insight.
