sysprep BL20pG3 - No prompt for computername

[Mevin Essapen]

Hi, I'm experiencing a problem with a sysprep'd W2K3SP1 image on BL20pG3's. When mini-setup runs theres no prompt for computername and the server comes up with a randomly generated name based on the "ORGNAME" value. I've tried various values in the sysprep.inf file for "COMPUTERNAME" (e.g. "*", "" and "^") but I never get prompted. The "COMPUTERNAME" is not present in our production sysprep.inf and this works as expected on DL and ML platforms. One thing I do notice with the "mini-setup" process is that I get a dialogue box pop up which has something about "EMS..." on it. Unfortunately its only seen for a split second and theres nothing in the "Logs" to give me the full story. Would be grateful for any thoughts on why I'm experiencing this behaviour on BL hardware and any advice on how to "fix" it.

Many thanks
