We use a script at the beginning of the TS that pops up to prompt for the
computer name and set the OSDComputerName variable.
Save as a .vbs
set env = CreateObject("Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment")
Name = inputbox("Enter the name for the new computer" ,"Prompt for Computer
Name:",env("_SMSTSMachineName"),400,0)
env("OSDComputerName") = Name

No MDT here, so I believe that's not an option.

I don't have that many rules, simply computer name patter, but I use
customsettings.ini and a userexit script to set the OU variable (can't remember
the exact name) and let the regular domain join step do that using the variable.
So, the script defines the variable, the step uses it. No (complicated)
conditions required.

Subject: [mssms] OSD - WMI query for computer name not working as expected
We have a domain join step that evaluates conditions based on an HTA the tech
fills out before imaging begins. Depending on these conditions, the computer
joins the domain and is placed in the appropriate OU. There are 3 main
conditions we evaluate:
OSDRole - TS variable, can be lab, staff, etc.
OSDBusinessArea - Another TS variable, based on department
These evaluate fine in our conditions when joining the domain. But the other
condition does a WMI query for the computer name. Unfortunately, at this point
in the imaging process, the computer name in WMI is MININT-XXXXXXX, so it
evaluates as FALSE.

Do we need to move this step down further in our TS? I don't know how else to
evaluate the computer name (OSDComputerName is available, but there is no
"LIKE" statement).

Any help appreciated!
