Good morning!

Thank you for UI++! It is an awesome tool and I appreciate your hard work in creating it. I use it as a prestart command specifically for the SMSTSPreferredAdvertID. However, I removed it for our summer imaging when we received new hardware and when I went to put it back it, it now doesn't keep the names. It gives me the generic "MININT-%%%%%%%". I have tried a bunch of trial and error to no avail. I saw a thread recently where you said it had to do with the unnattend file but I wasn't having the problem previously. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Hope you have a fantastic weekend!

Thanks,

Probsty

First, don't use ComputerName as a variable name. COmputerName is also an environment variable which takes precedence in UI++ over task sequence variables for variable substitution.

Next, where in the task sequence are you running UI++? Before the Apply Windows Settings task?

I'm using it as a prestart command on the boot image. I thought the variable I was using was "PCName". Should it look like the xml below vs the one above?
