Re: [Unattended] preset prduct id for os install dir

Hello Gregory,


looks fine, but it seems to me that you set up product key defaults
for only to sets of exact computers. what I want is to be able to
prepare "pools". So when I want to install machines for "this
Os_media", use this key. And when I want to use "that Os_media", use
other key. without knowing the mac address, or the like.

or... it suddenly comes into my mind! can i use hostname match to link
product key and os media dir? I mean if I name the computer THIS1234
or THIS4567, and so on, it uses os media "THIS" and product key
"THIS"? is it clear? :) maybe sounds a bit confusing, sorry if so :)
