WDS - RIPREP

Hi,

I have installed a Windows XP SP2 Desktop with all the device drivers
configured, named the PC "IMAGE" & joined the Domain. Have run RIPREP &
successfully produced the desktop image.

Could someone tell me how to make the WDS image prompt for a computer name
rather than using the name "IMAGE" as I 'am going to run into problems when
installing the image on more than one PC at the same time.

Attached is my riprep.sif from the Template folder ;
