Change computer name before recovery

Thread needs solution

Hi,
I wonder if it would be possible to change hostname for the computer that is being recovered. I mean is it possible that the pc would be recovered from an image, but it's name would be changed before first log in.

Thank you

So that cannot be done with just Acronis Backup and Recovery 11? Additional software is required? Maybe there's some command line option I could enter to change computer's name.

Thanks

Hi, Elena
Acronis Backup and Recovery 11 is backup software, and so it keeps the original operating system settings. If you use Acronis Backup and Recovery 11 to deploy OS to multiple machines, use Microsoft sysprep on the original system before taking its image.
