Server Deployment Static IP again.

Question

Hi
we plan to deploy our servers also via SCCM. The server are located in VLAN without DHCP, so a static address has to be applied. During the WinPE phase this isn't really a problem because a static address can be configured. This address is gone after the
image is applied. I know I can assign a new address via "Apply Network Settings" plus defining task sequences variables but I want to reapply the same address entered during the WinPE phase.
Is something built-in in SCCM or do I have to script it myself via netsh or whatever? Just to point out. I read already the step by step guide part 3 from Niall and I don't want to use a collection to assign variables. It's quite simple:
1) Enter address in WinpE
2) Save address somewhere
3) Reapply saved address after image is applied.
Thanks
Joachim

Hi guys,
I just want to share. I don't use the MDT but build a custom HTA where you can enter ip-address etc.
The values are storedin the OSDAdapter... variables and applied automatically.
here's an example ;
If you want the full HTA with script please write me a pm.
