The stock Unattended boot disk already does this :-). I used a bad hack... The last line of system.ini is "COMPUTERNAME=INSTALL-" but *without* a CRLF at the end. Then autoexec.bat does "random.exe 65535 >> net\system.ini" before starting the network. The result is that the NetBIOS name is set to INSTALL-XXXXX for some random value of XXXXX. This should work for installing up to a couple hundred machines at once; beyond that, the birthday paradox will start to bite. This is yet another problem which a Linux boot disk would avoid... - Pat ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SlickEdit Inc. Develop an edge.
