asked on Script to change hostname
Hi All,
I would like to know if it’s possible and how to create a script to change a computer hostname. Our techs will create a master image and copy the image to about 20 workstations. If I had all the MAC addresses of all twenty workstations (I’ll get from DHCP) I want the script to assign a specific hostname to that workstation if it has that MAC address. So the script will be imaged to all 20 workstations. When imaging is completed all that will be needed is to run the script.
Thanks in advance

Windows 7 OS. I also plan or having the script run on the first reboot. Again if this is possible.
