Hi All,

I have recently finished doing a deployment and our client wanted MAC
Address as machine name which is a lot easier since you don't need a
database.

It will be the same as listed above except you will use a Userexit.vbs
file to query the machine.

Let me know if you are interested.

Cheers,
Humphrey

p.s. The only thing with not using a database is the data restore in a
replace computer scenario since there is no way to map the old
computer and new computer names but we got around this by just
manually renaming the usmt data folder when needed.
