This is the followup to the sysprep.ini file I recently posted. You can think of this as the postinstall.bat file it refers to. This will prompt for IP address settings and then set them. I could also be used for copying down and installing other applications. The way this is written it assumes that DHCP is running after a reboot. You could cut the IP address settings out if you wanted to have DHCP set instead and just use this to install apps.

Generate sysprep.ini file on the fly

I use this in some batch files that will generate a sysprep.ini file after a computer name has been entered. This allows for a tech to enter the new computer name at install and let it take care of anything else.

Powershell set computer name

I will be posting some powershell scripts that have been found in places that I did not remember. Some have been tweeked by me others have not.

Batch file menu with options

A good template for a batch file that prompts you for a menu choice.
