Vista - setting NIC display name with autounattend.xml

Hi there,

in earlier version of unattend it was easy to set the NIC setting. Now with
WSIM, how can I set an NIC display name, to rename it from "Local Area
Network" to e.g. "Heartbeat".

Also how do I identify a NIC in autounattend.xml? I know that I can use the
mac address. But I don't want to use mac addresses in the autounattend.xml
file.

any idea to both of these questions?

thanks,
Gunno

Interface section of the Microsoft-Windows-TCPIP component might be
what you are after. I think you'll want to set it in the Specialize
phase. See
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l...30(WS.10).aspx for
more details.

For identifying the NIC, if you mean specifying which of multiple
NICs, I don't know, but see the note on
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l...05(WS.10).aspx, maybe
that will help.

Hi,

I have seen this, but it does not give an hint on who to rename a network
connection. I guess that's not working.

At least I can addresse the interface when I specify "Local Area
Connection", "Local Area Connection 2" and so forth.

I really hate the given MS example. it's useless and it's not working either.

but thanks any way.

in sysprep. Have you tried asking in the Technet forums? The people

I found following article http://blogs.technet.com/rdepagne/default.aspx
that describes the issues and also shows how to fix the problem. I just did
a test installation and it worked... :-)
