MDT 2010 - USB Install - customSettings.ini

Hi,

I have created a custom.wim and trying to deploy using USB.

I have set my settings both in unattend.Xml and custom Settings.ini and works perfectly well except for computer name.

I'm trying to get user to set a computer name and the setting in custumSettings.ini I set was "SkipComputername=NO" and the user enters the computer name but after the deployment is finished it generates a random computer name.

Just struggling to understand why?

Any help will be very helpfull.

I have pasted my custom settings.ini

[settings]

Priority=Default

Properties=MyCustomProperty

[Default]

OSInstall=Y

SkipComputerName=No -- tried Computername=1234 & OSDComputerName=1234

SkipAppsOnUpgrade=YES

SkipCapture=YES

SkipUserData=YES

SkipAdminPassword=YES

SkipProductKey=YES

skipTimeZone=YES

SkipFinalSummary=YES
