For your first question:
Verify these two settings:
1. Open up your ristndrd.sif in \\(RISSERVER)\REMINST\Setup\English\Images\(ImageName)\i386\templates
Under the
[UserData] section there should be a line that reads:
ComputerName = %MACHINENAME%
2. Open the properties of the RIS server computer
object in AD
Select the Remote Install
tab
Click the Advanced Settings
button
On the "New Clients" tab (default), you will have the option to generate the
computer name using a variety of different options.
One will not work properly without the other,
so you have to be sure that both have been set.
Also, if you do a bit of research you can enable to the
custom.osc menu when booting into RIS which will allow you to be able to specify
the computer name, the OU you would like the computer object to be created in
and pretty much anything else you can think of.
I hope that helps.

Subject: AD and RIS
One for all you RIS experts out
there. When I rebuild a workstation, using the same name, it creates
a new duplicate entry in the default computers
"OU", instead of using the existing entry.
Secondly, I'd like to set a default OU for
newly built machines. I've tried setting it in the RIS properties in the
AD - but again, it creates two entries - one in computers, and one in the
specified OU. Ideally I'd like to be able to enter this on the RIS setup
screens - but that might be pushing it?
TIA
Dan.
