How to automatically change the computer name using batch processing? - China DOS Union Forum

If there are many identical computers cloned and installed, and after installation, the computer names are all the same. Once connected to the Internet, the "There are duplicate names on the network" prompt will appear. Then how to use batch processing to change these computer names? The naming rule can adopt "prefix" + "last segment of the IP address". For example, if the prefix is set to H, and the IPs are 192.168.7.3; 192.168.7.147, then the computer names will be H3, H147 respectively.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
附带问 another question:
Still such a batch of computers, and the system properties are all the same information. For example:
Registered to:
USER
DELL
There will be a problem. For example, when I install OFFICE, Kingsoft Iceberg, the user name and unit will be automatically filled with these information. Is there a way to use batch processing to automatically change the registration information?

Passing by, paying attention to this issue.

All this information is about modifying the registry.

The computer name can be modified by calling the Control Panel or by calling the Registry Editor. For example, to change the computer name from 'MMX233' to 'P233', you can follow these steps: Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrenControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName, change the value of the key named 'ComputerName' from the original 'MMX233' to 'P233', and it will take effect after logging off the user or restarting Windows.

Find some materials for personalizing the computer by modifying the registry to have a look.

Find the modification points, and you can use batch processing/vbs to make the change, which is very easy :D

There are quite a few such problems in the forum. Just search it. Also, there is in Wuyou Boot Forum.

I will also pay attention.

I found two tools that are both in the Ghost 8.3 suite:
(1) ghstwalk.exe: Rename Windows under pure DOS, can specify a name or assign randomly
(2) GhRegEdt.exe: Modify Windows registry under pure DOS, change the following key values:
HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName
ComputerName
HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
NV Hostname

Heheh. I know this. To change the computer name, use wmic computersystem where "name='%nowname%'" call rename %name%

'%nowname%' is the current name, %name% is the name you want to change to.

Similarly: To change the workgroup
wmic computersystem where "domain='%work%'" call joindomainorworkgroup "","","%group%",1

RE:LS

Sure!

Try this; automatically change your computer name to a name combined with H and the last digit of the IP.

Tested on xpsp2

@echo off

for /f "tokens=17 delims=:." %%a in ('ipconfig ^|findstr "IP Address" ^| more +1') do set "NAME=H%%a"

echo %NAME%

wmic computersystem where "PrimaryOwnerName='%username%'" call rename %NAME%
