Sysprep and BIOS name

[joe jones]

I would like Sysprep to use the ID name from the BIOS
rather than generate a random computer name. Does anyone
know how to do this?

That reply didn't make sense to me, isn't the guy asking about having
Sysprep pull from teh BIOS to use as the hostname of the machine? If there
is a way to do that it would be pretty cool to use it.


The primary reason for this naming convention is that a single-label numeric
name can be treated as an Internet Protocol (IP) address during name
resolution.
Many utilities (such as the Ping command) cannot distinguish a single-label
numeric name from an IP address, and may then treat it as an IP address.
