Table Of Contents

By default, all deployed machines will have the same name as the machine in the master image.

Alternatively, you can specify a name pattern for the machines.

Specify whether the machine will be a member of a workgroup or an Active Directory domain. If you

have selected the domain membership, specify the user name and password of a domain

administrator.

Name patterns

A name pattern determines the names that the target machines will have after the deployment.

To specify a single name for all target machines, type that name in Machine name pattern. For

example, type: DeployedMachine

To generate different names for the target machines, include either of the following wildcards or

their combination.

{start}

Generates consecutive numbers starting with start. Each machine name will have its unique

number.

For example, the pattern {1} generates the names 1, 2, 3, and so on up to the number of target

machines. Similarly, the pattern {5} generates the names 5, 6, 7, and so on.

It makes sense to use only one such wildcard in the pattern.

{start,count}

Generates count consecutive numbers starting with start.

For example, the pattern {1,5} generates the names 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Similarly, the pattern {8,5}

generates the names 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12.

Make sure that the value of count is big enough. If the number of target machines exceeds count,

deployment to the remaining machines will fail.

You can use two or more of these wildcards. See examples later in this section.

In the wildcards, the value of start must be 0 or greater. The value of count must be 1 or greater.

You can use the wildcards alone or accompany them with text, as in the following examples.

Examples

Machine{1}

This pattern generates the names Machine1, Machine2, …, MachineN, where N is the number of

target machines.

Name{1,3}

This pattern generates the names Name1, Name2, and Name3.

{1,3}{1,4}

This pattern generates the names 11, 12, 13, 14; 21, 22, 23, 24; 31, 32, 33, and 34

{1,9}{0,10}

This pattern generates 90 names: 10, 11, 12, …, 19; 20, 21, 22, …, 29; …; 90, 91, 92, …, 99
