You can specify a computer name and description to
apply to the target computer. If you specify a computer name in a
configuration set template, you must include at least one asterisk
(*) wildcard character. When the configuration set template is
applied to a computer group, the wildcard characters are replaced
with a number that is unique to each computer. For example, if you
create computers for the Administration department, you may set
this field to Admin *****.
Note: The number of asterisk (*) wildcard
characters specifies the number of digits. You must include
sufficient digits for the number of computers in the target group.
For example, if there are 10 computers, you must include at least
two asterisk (*) wildcard characters.
