Re: Changing Computer Name




Joe, I'll second Sean. What you're describing is the Computer Name
User Interface. It generates the Computer Name tab in the System
Properties window (THAT is the System Properties dialogue KM was
asking about) and allows changing both the computer name and joining a
workgroup or domain. Also, make sure you've enabled basic TCP/IP
networking, as well. The macro for that is basic but fairly complete.

Hi,
I am trying to change the computer name in my XPE build (Winlogon, EWF, CF).
I have included the Computer Name User Interface component per a previous
post, but when I right click on MyComputer in Explorer, and then select
properties, nothing happens. Is there another component I need to include
(system properties component?). I also tried logging in as Administrator and
still the same result.

The system boots directly into my application, but I can exit to a DOS
prompt and then manually start Explorer to get to the MyComputer properties.
I don't know if this has anything to do with the problem, but I thought I
would mention it. Thanks in advance for your help!
