amk amk Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-01-04 Posts: 5	I am using Kixtart 2.33 and My problem is how do i get kixtart to read the netbios name of the workstation and dump it into a text file? Any help would be appreciated.

amk amk Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-01-04 Posts: 5	Yes i am. What i am trying to acheive is an automated process where by users of laptops in the company can auotmatically create an image using a network bootdisk which connects to our build server and runs ghost to create the image. What i want to also do is restrict each user to only having a single image of their laptop saved at any one time. So if the netbios name is used this will help. Hope i am making sense.

With a bootdisk, this name is not machine dependent. What is machine dependent is the MAC address of the network card. This can be retrieved in DOS using the utility "putinenv.exe". If you create a correspondence list of "Name - MAC" on the server then you can pull the name from the server once you have the MAC address. You could autocreate this correspondence list by writing an appropriate UDF in kixtart that ran at login time. Of course this would only help with rebuilds. New machines would need to be manually set either in DOS or Windows. [ 02. December 2002, 16:20: Message edited by: Jack Lothian ] _________________________ Jack
