Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Inside Out The variables that can be used in computer names include the following: . %First First name of user . %Last Last name of user . %Username Logon name of user . %Mac MAC address of the client s NIC . %# Used to specify an incrementing number . %n Used to designate n characters of . %0n Used to pad n characters with zeros For example, to have computer names generated from the first 10 characters of the user logon name plus the first 5 characters of the MAC address of the NIC plus an incrementing number, use this syntax: %10Username%5MAC%# You needn t get that fancy, though. Maybe you just want to use a standard root name and increment? Well, you can do that, too. Consider the following example: cpandl%# Here, all computers names begin with cpandl (which is the abbreviated company name for City Power & Light) and end with a number that is automatically incremented by RIS. Tip It is important to note that name settings are ignored for prestaged clients. Pre- staged clients were assigned names when their accounts were created in Active Directory.
