The appliance includes two scripts to obtain or assign computer names: getcomputername and setcomputername. Each script has a 32- and 64-bit version. For more information about these scripts, visit https://www.itninja.com/blog/view/get-set-computername.
By default, the /log switch is added to the script command line, allowing the appliance to create a log file each time the script runs. You can also use the /debug switch if you want to see messages from the script at runtime.
These tasks work with sysprepped images (where an unattend file is specified) and with scripted Windows installations.
