I was wondering if there is a way to have a popup prompt asking for a new computer name? Here's my situation; I have automated our entire imaging, and scripted install process for computers at my company moving to Windows 7. When they finish imaging, they are sitting at the desktop of the local administrator account already joined to the domain, activated with Microsoft, and they have a generic computer name. What I would like is to have a script I can edit and then compile to an EXE usiing AutoIt, that will pop up a window that states "Please enter a new computer name." and a place to enter it. Then upon succesful entry and change, prompt for reboot. Is this Possible? I found this code over at experts-exchange, but it has Windows activation included in it as well, which I don't need because mine auto activate. #NoTrayIcon #Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** #AutoIt3Wrapper_icon=mozillacrystal.ico #AutoIt3Wrapper_outfile=RenameComputer.exe #AutoIt3Wrapper_Compression=4 #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseUpx=n #AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Description=Change Computer Names.

Hiya Kenny, I was hoping you might be able to help me here. I love the simplicity of your code, very easy to understand and manipulate. But I was wodering if there is a way to have a popup prompt asking for a new computer name? Here's my situation; I have automated our entire imaging, and scripted install process for computers at my company for Windows 7. When they are done they are sitting at the desktop of the local administrator account, already joined to the domain with a generic computer name. What I would like is to have a script I can edit and then compile to an EXE usiing AutoIt, that will pop up a window that states "Please enter a new computername." and a place to enter it. Then upon succesful entry, prompt for reboot. Is this Possible? I found this code over at experts-exchange, but it has Windows activation included in it as well, which I don't need because mine auto activate. Also this doesn't prompt to reboot. *edit - Apparently it does prompt for reboot* #NoTrayIcon #Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** #AutoIt3Wrapper_icon=mozillacrystal.ico #AutoIt3Wrapper_outfile=RenameComputer.exe #AutoIt3Wrapper_Compression=4 #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseUpx=n #AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Description=Change Computer Names.
