Can you customize your deployment based on VM name

I know it is possible to customize your deployment by mapping your PC based on MAC or serial number using the MDT database.  However, is it possible to do this by just the VM name alone? (I would think the same challenge apply to both ESX or HyperV). 
If I could go ahead and create a serial of VM call VM01 to VM10, how can I have MDT deploy Task Sequence 1 to VM01 to VM05, while deploy Task Seq 2 to VM06 to VM10?  As the VM doesn't have any netbios name of predefine MAC address yet ?  Any idea
would be appreicated

Hi,
The answer is no, you couldn't customize deployment based on VM name. 
Customize deployment by mapping PC based on MAC or serial number using MDT database is completely different with mapping PC name. The first one is based on hardware query, seconde one is based on software level.
 As we know, WMI command can be used to obtain information of Computer Hardware, software, etc. While in WinPE phase, it only could be used to obtain hardware information, the command like
Get -WmiObject win32_computersystem should be works properly, but it won't be work if you try to obtain VM name by using WMI command, WinPE doesn't support these command to obtain VM name, it only works at host system. That's
to say, we didn't have method to obtain host VM name in guest machine. Therefore, if you try to mapping your PC based on VM name, it would be failed.
For more information about WMI, you can refer to the link below for more details:

  • Can you customize your phone's email address?

    I am a returning Verizon Wireless customer and am happy to be onboard.  I was able to successfully email my phone using [email protected] to send messages to my phone and it works great.  Does Verizon support alternate email addresses?  like "[email protected]" or similar?  Thanks

        Great question, ChipChairman! We certainly want you to be able to easily manage your account. When logging into http://www.vtext.com you will then click the Menu button(three horizontal lines) at the top right of the Verizon Messages text box. Click Steeings then "Email to Text" and choose "Edit" for "CREATE AN EMAIL ADDRESS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR NUMBER". From there just enter your desired username to go along with the @vtext.com domain. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

  • Can you customize what folder MAIL goes to when adding attachments?

    Can you customize what folder MAIL goes to when adding attachments?
    My friend has 2 email addresses for businesses.
    He has invoices in folders for both, and wants to set up the Mac like this:
    When he writes from one email address and attaches documents - he want the Mac always to go to the corresponding folder for that company of his. Same for the other email address...
    Make sense?
    Can this be done?
    Thanks in advance....

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    Add extra empty toolbars if you want to see more of the persona.<br />
    You can create extra toolbars to get extra space via View > Toolbars > Customize<br />
    You have to put something on a toolbar (drag a Space item onto it) before closing the Customize window because empty toolbars are automatically removed.<br />

    Hmmm... Submit button doesn't need a double click at all. Maybe you are talking about the two-step process? When you click on Submit, the feedback appears with the message to click anywhere or press Y. Is that what you are talking about? If you are talking about a real double-click, something must be wrong in your file. And which version are you using?

    How can you change your security question for I tunes?

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

  • Can you save your own theme and button set up so I can use the same format

    Can you save your own theme and button set up, so I can use this same format for similar content. I want to keep the button content and the theme the same without having to create it everytime? I am trying to streamline the process for multiple dvd's with the same menu and buttons but different content. Does that make sense?

    I am only new to this caper too, but I am pretty sure you can save a theme as a favourite by pressing the "save theme as favourite" button under file. If you have edited an existing theme but don't want to lose it, make sure you untick the replace existing button.

  • Can  you move your notes from one iphone to another and how?

    Can you move your notes from one iphone to another and how?

    You can do this a couple ways.  If you are using MobileMe, notes is one of the options for synchronization and that would be automatic.  Another way is to backup your iphone to iTunes, this backs up essentially all the information on your phone (except for music) and if you restore the other iphone to the image of the original your notes will be transfered.

  • Crystal Report XI: Can you write your query in SQL instead of using the GUI

    Hello
      In crystal report version XI, can you write your query in sqlplus and then use the crystal report designer to build your report instead of using the GUI . I would like to be able to go database and show sql query and open that query and make changes directly there, is that possible on this version, if yes is there a setting somewhere? Please let me know.
    Thank you

    No you can no longer modify the SQL directly. Use a Command Object to enter the SQL directly.

  • How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app?  When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.

    How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app?  When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.

    The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
    The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
    If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.
