similar to my old thread http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=1053.0

I want my network to start without any popup screens needing me to click on yes and so on.

(I dont need PENetwork actually) but PEnetwork seems to be needed to obtain an IP etc. It adds ipv4 or something somehow  (at least this was so in w7pese)

EDIT: so ive gotten ipv4/network+file sharing to start without PEnetwork, which is what i ultimately need but im not sure how to give it a random 'computer name' (For file sharing).. its defaulted to MINWINPC right now. Ideally i would like it to be "PE??"

is it possible to write a script to give the computer a random computername? PE01-10. If PE01 is used, use PE02 and so on up to 10.

Check plugin at
Gena\Components\Tweaks Explorer\"My Computer - Name"

See if it works for you by using custom box.....

Tip:
Gena\Utils\Share Plugins -> Share Plugins with - Win10PESE

ive selected the gena server via download, and downloaded the two "my computername" options.

Not sure what to do after that.

Since this is conventional way, manually copy 2 plugins to SE\Components

than see how things work.

When you download / extract projects to same folder, you do not need conventional (manual) way,
 All projects have "Share Plugins" to share plugins in between  :thumbsup:

You will see when you practice once  :wink:

ps: Also written At FAQ http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=834.0

Important
...
Use All Projects inside same project folder (ex: D:\Oven)
 (extract all different .zip distributions into same folder (ex: D:\Oven )
   All Projects designed to work that way from the very begining,
    and we benefit from this feature inside Projects  :wink:

I still don't fully get how to share after clicking around BUT I get it now that we can put various SE versions together. (I've separated them... but I guess I can copy them to a common place now)

So I did it manually.... and then looked at the script and then realized I think this only changes the "My computer" icon name. The computer name I was referring to is network related -- as in computername / netbios name. Like the one u find in PEnetwork.

I need some form of dynamically generating the computer name. (PENetwork did it previously but i've stopped using PEnetwork)

Considering using dmidecode to get hardware vendor & date to generate the name.

Good start,

You can improve plugin to also change network related names (netbios etc. ) ,
 I do not have time for this, so on your hands.

If you success, I can later add a feature to dynamic generation.   :thumbsup:

Have Fun
