Hi,

 

I have created a thin client image USB using the HP software ThinUpdate.

This starts up in a WinPE 10 environment.

 

the only downside is that the computer name that is given to the thin client is the name that WinPE uses.

I want the name that WinPE starts up with is different.

What would be great that it chooses the name by type.

 

For example a mobile thin client uses MTC-%serialnumber% and a thin client uses TC-%serialnumber%

is this possible?

 

This needs to be added to an existing WINPE usb stick.

I have no experience in editing an existing winpe stick.

so i need a little tutorial for that to.

 

Also it would be nice to boot to another ISO from the commandline in winpe for example hironsboot.

this is not a must but would be nice  :) .

Hi

 

I know that it would be possible via powershell, but at this moment i still use an batch.

@echo off
for /F  "tokens=1 delims= " %%i IN ('wmic BIOS get SERIALNUMBER    ^/value^|find ^/i "SerialNumber"') DO (set %%i)

@echo Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 >> set_hostname.reg
@echo\ >> set_hostname.reg
@echo [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP\Parameters] >> set_hostname.reg
@echo "Hostname"="%SerialNumber%" >> set_hostname.reg
@echo "NV Hostname"="%SerialNumber%" >> set_hostname.reg
@echo\ >> set_hostname.reg


regedit /s set_hostname.reg >nul

powershell is on the todo-list

ONLY to "simplify":

@echo off
for /F "tokens=1 delims= " %%i IN ('wmic BIOS get SERIALNUMBER ^/value^|find ^/i "SerialNumber"') DO (set %%i)
(
echo Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
echo\ 
echo [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP\Parameters]
echo "Hostname"="%SerialNumber%"
echo "NV Hostname"="%SerialNumber%"
echo\ 

) > set_hostname.reg


regedit /s set_hostname.reg >nul

(you can group Echo commands and redirect all of them once)

sounds good!

Is it also possible to look up the model of the pc/laptop? 
and make an IF command with that?

 

And is it also possible to edit an registry from an active OS with a winPE CMD?

You mean non-active (or "offline"), the active will be the PE you will be running.

Of course it is possible, either mounting the hives or using the offline registry tool.
