I used a VBS script to accomplish something far less complex than this. Put
your logics in, but here's the meat.
Set oTaskSequence = CreateObject ("Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment")
'Code to define the value of sCompName
oTaskSequence("OSDComputername") = sCompName
As you may have guessed, the above script will set the Task Sequence variable
OSDComputerName to whatever you need when you call it from your Task Sequence.
You can also accomplish this in PowerShell as well, see below.
$TS_Env = New-Object -COMObject Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment
#Code to define $sCompName
$TS_Env.Value("OSDComputername") = $sCompName
Hope that helps,
Andrew

Subject: [mssms] Complex Computer Naming
In customsettings.ini is it possible to use more than one condition to set
OSDComputerName? Has anyone done something like this?
Here's what I am trying to accomplish.
1. Default gateway?
2. Physical or Virtual?
3. If physical is laptop or is desktop?
4. serial number if physical UUID if virtual
And I want to end up with a name like this;
First 4 character:
default gateway = 10.10.10.10 or 10.10.10.20 - first 4 letters of computer name
are "BHM-"
Next two characters:
Virtual is YES - next two letters of computer name are "V-"
Laptop is Yes - - next two letters of computer name are "L-"
Desktop is Yes - - next two letters of computer name are "D-"
Last characters of computer name:
If physical then "serial number"
if virtual then VM#Right(replace("%UUID%"," ",""),8)#
End result would be something like this:
BHM-D-12345678
JKS-L-12345678
NSV-V-12345678
