You can either deploy to unknown computers or import the unknown computer into SCCM.

Great video ... Thanks

so is this mean if i've got new "computer" not recorded in AD , and i've created task sequence media , so can i deploy os on this new computer ?

i've tried many ways but it says "No task sequence available for this computer"

if it exist then i have to put it in osd collection then its works , but if its new computer ???! is there's any way to deploy ?

Hi sufibee,

If you are using SCCM R2 you dont necessarily need a script anymore you can go into the collection variables tab and create osdcomputername with a blank value.

You will then be prompted to name an unknown computer.

If you search for the following on technet forum it will have all the info:

"SCCM R2 Unknown Computer Support and changing computer name during Task Sequence"

Will post script if you still need it.

Hi, what is the script command you are running, so it prompts you to add the workstation ID. thanks
