Looking for the best approach to building different types of clients and
automatically creating the computer account in the associated OU (i.e.
different dependending on build - dept: laptop/desktop). Also looked at
customisation for the machine type (destop or laptop) so that it would
generate a computer name meaningful to both.
Have tried customising the OSC menu files so that it generated an
appropriate name depending on machine type and fed that variable into each
SIF. However although the code looked ok the machines experienced problems
creating the computer accounts, would fail every time.
I guess the other option would be to prestage the computer accounts but
would rather avoid the extra administration involved.
Is there any other way to achieve this? Or are there any sample OSCs which
provide this functionality? Can't seem to find any detailed documentation or
guide to editing these files. Tiny section in chunky RIS Admin guide but
that's it.
Thanks
