Sysprep.inf question

Using RIS I can customize which OU to put the computer account into when it
is automatically joined to the domain, and I can also customize the computer
name to increment with numbers.

Example:
xpcomp001
xpcomp002
xpcomp003


Is this possible to do these 2 things with sysprep.inf?
 
Hi,

Regarding your purpose 1, you can add
[Identification]
MachineObjectOU = "OU = myou,OU = myparentou,DC = mydom,DC = mycompany,DC =
com"
in sysprep.inf to add the computer into specific OU.

Unattend.txt Utility

Regarding your purpose 2, you can configure it at RIS server. The following
two articles can help.

Thank you for your help.
The first link about the OU is exactly what I was looking for.
On the second part of my question, I am not going to be using RIS. Is there
a way to create custom computer names in the sysprep.inf like RIS does?

Hi Mike,

Just consider one thing: If you don't use RIS, how can a image knows how
many computers have been deployed? Therefore, we need to configure the name
rule shoudl on the deploy tools.

Thanks.
