Methos for setting static IP address
Need to set some workstations with Static IP so just working out best methods
I've seen you can set OSD variables onto an imported machine and that should work fine such as OSDAdapter0IPAddressList and it also looks like you can set it when booting from CD which gives a network setup tab. I was wondering whether the MDT Admin database
can be used ?. I notice there is for example a field for OSDAdapter0IPAddressList that states you can have a comma delimeted list - how does this work ?Ian Burnell, London (UK)

Hi,
When using MDT together with SCCM the OSDAdapter* variables are overwritten by SCCM, setting the the static IP on the computer object in SCCM as computer variables should work though. It is discussed here as well..

Thanks - I should have explained this is SCCM SP3 with the MDT integration and given that I have setup a role for the set of machines in question I was wondering how the OSDAdapter entries in the Admin database would interact with SCCM OSD. My suspicion
is they are one and the same effectively
Haven't yet tested it but have no doubt setting the OSD variables on a per computer basis will work just fineIan Burnell, London (UK)

Hi,
If you check the documentation for MDT you will see that you cannot use any of the OSDadapter* settings in MDT together with SCCM(ZTI), as SCCM overwrites the values. :-(
So the Property option in SCCM is one alternative that could be used instead, scripting it is another.
