Switch

 

Description

 

 

 

/CN=

 

Replaces the original computer name with a randomly generated

"<random_computer_

name using the <random_computer_name_format> template.

The <random_computer_name_format> template specifies

name_format>"

 

which sections of the new name will be randomly generated and

 

 

 

 

the type of random value to place in that location.

 

 

Only one instance of the following keywords is permitted in a

 

 

template:

 

 

<RANDOM_NUMERIC> - Generate random numbers

 

 

<RANDOM_ALPHA>- Generate random letters

 

 

<RANDOM_HEX> - Generate random hex digits (0-9, A-F)

 

 

Examples:

 

 

/CN=”PC<RANDOM_NUMERIC>” replaces the computer name

 

 

with a name that starts with PC, followed by a series of random

 

 

digits between 0 and 9.

 

 

/CN=”ID<RANDOM_ALPHA>X” replaces the computer name

 

 

with a name that starts with ID, followed by a series of random

 

 

letters, ending with the character X.

 

 

/CN=”<RANDOM_ALPHA>” replaces the computer name with

 

 

a name that is randomly generated using letters.

 

 

The random output fills out the format string to produce a new

 

 

computer name of the same length as the original name. Ensure

 

 

that the format string allows enough room to embed at least one

 

 

random character without exceeding the length of the original

 

 

name.

 

 

 

/BV=<drv:part>

 

Specifies the drive number and partition number of the bootable

 

 

operating system installation to update.

 

 

If there is more than one operating system, then this switch must

 

 

be included in the command.

 

 

 

/AV=<drv:part>

 

Specifies the drive number and partition number of an

 

 

additional volume containing a file system to update.

 

 

More than one volume may be specified by repeating the

 

 

argument for each additional volume.

 

 

This switch cannot be combined with /AV=ALL.
