Hi Brian, Since you're already using SCCM, I'd go ahead and integrate MDT if you haven't already. There is a wonderful tool called the 'User Driven Installation' (UDI) that displays a series of HTA pages when a Task Sequence is launched. You can use a tool that comes with MDT to easily customize the pages that are displayed to the user. When your task sequence runs, all you've got to do is add a 'Display HTA' step to your task sequence to display the prompt, then in your CustomSettings.ini specify the hostname variable as OSDComputerName, and you'll be golden.
This is a very common request, and you'll find a ton of nice tutorials online.
