Hi@all,
we have a new network-environment. In our concept, we use 10 characters for the pc-name.
The problem is: our old enterprise-software has to identify the PC from a variable but can only handle 8 characters.

What i want to do is, to read the pc-name (10char), shorten 2 characters and write the new string (8char) to a environment-variable "term".
the name is e.g ROCDTWT012 and shoult be shortened to RODWT012. Is there a way to solve that problem?
I'm a noob in scripting and kixstart, so is there somebody who has a script or who can tell me how to do?
thanks a lot,
bene
