Re: OSD Image Install CD with Static IP

OK, that part sounds good. But unfortunately, with our current
infrastructure, each user is assigned a different range of IP's for
their VLAN. Is there a way that the user can enter in their IP info
instead of me editing winbom.ini?

Yes it is...

You can set ip, sub and default gateway via winbom.ini (but not dns)
dns can be set wih a simple vbscript (requires winpe 2005)

sample winbom.ini

[Factory]
WinBOMType=WinPE
Reseal=No

[WinPE]
Quiet=Yes
Restart=No

[WinPE.Net
StartNet = Yes
IPConfig = 192.168.16.250
Gateway = 192.168.16.2
Subnetmask = 255.255.255.0

[PnPDriverUpdate]

[PnPDrivers]

[NetCards]

[UpdateInis]

[FactoryRunOnce]

[Branding]

[AppPreInstall]


Sample script: setdns.vbs

On Error Resume Next

strComputer = "."
strDNSHostName = "client1"
strDNSDomain = "tslab.net"
arrDNSServerSearchOrder = Array("192.168.16.2", "192.168.16.3")
arrDNSDomainSuffixSearchOrder = Array("tslab.net")

Set objWMIService =
GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer
& "\root\cimv2")
Set objNicConf =
objWMIService.Get("Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration")

intEnableDNS = objNicConf.EnableDNS(strDNSHostName, strDNSDomain,
arrDNSServerSearchOrder, arrDNSDomainSuffixSearchOrder)

Is there any way that I can boot a client up using the OSD Image CD,
and then assign a static IP address before attempting to connect to the

server and all clients have static IP's.
