I have a problem.
I want to join the domain and place the computer in a specific OU based upon the prefix of the name of the computer. I am using the task "Apply Network Settings". It works ok.
My machines have specific prefixes and all need to by deployed with the same task sequence so that they are identical. The prefixes are
DEV- (for development) (OU=DEVELOPMENT)
PROD-(for production) (OU=PRODUCTION)
TEST-(for testing purposes) (OU=TESTING)
I then have to manually move them... *Urgh*
I am unable to use the task sequence variable OSDComputerName because it lacks the operands that I need. (It has "equal", etc...) I only want a partial match. So far I have tried DEV-*, DEV-% but no luck. I also cannot use WMI operations like Name, because in WinPE PXE boot the machine name is MININT-[number]. So it will not succesfully evaluate that step.
Has anyone found a solution or workaround.?
