SCCM Task Sequence Media - Computer Name Prompt

[CHiLL]

We have multiple Task Sequences configured and primarily image over the network/PXE. When we image using these TSs, we get a prompt to enter a computer name if we want to specify one. This is great as it means we don't have to do it at a later date and when it automatically joins the domain.

 

However, when I 'Create Task Sequence Media' for a standalone deployment with the same TS for use on a tablet with no LAN, only WiFi/USB...that computer name prompt does not appear. This is despite no change being made to the TS.

 

Is there any way I can get that prompt for offline media?

I could be completely wrong, but I shouldn't think this is possible. When you start a deployment via PXE or ConfigMgr Client the device can check to see if it already exists in SCCM via it's SMBIOS GUID, whereas if you're using an offline deployment method it wont have that same connection back to SCCM.

 

The only way I can think of doing it is if you create a customised HTA wizard during the WinPE phase, something like this https://www.windows-noob.com/forums/topic/3476-introducing-the-windows-noobcom-frontend-hta-ver-10/

I'm no longer at the place I did it but I had a Task Sequence that asked for the image I wanted, computer name and then join it to the domain without using MDT. I'll have a look for where I found the instructions but it was a small piece of code written in the task sequence before you format the drives.

 

It was this oneI think it defiantly looks familiar: https://www.windows-noob.com/forums/topic/5542-how-can-i-easily-prompt-for-a-computer-name-in-configuration-manager-2012/
