[Casper] Asset Tags in casper

[Thomas Larkin]

do you use the asset tag anywhere in the image?  for example we use the
asset tag as part of the computer name, so I would be easily scriptable
from that perspective.   Do you guys log the asset tags anywhere?

Hi-

So I keep track of computers’ asset tag numbers in Casper.  Right now
it’s a manual process whereby I ask the user what their asset tag
number is and then I plunk it into Casper.  We’re going to be going to
production soon and this would require a lot of manual overhead on my
(or any other admin’s) part.  Ideally, I’d like to prompt the user for
this information and then store it in Casper.  I know how to prompt a
user on the command line (e.g. Use a script for this), store it and then
write it out to a dummy receipt file, but I’d like it to look better. 
What’s the best way to do this?  I could make an AppleScript studio app
to do it, but I don’t know if that’s the best way.  I don’t know any
cocoa, but I have a feeling that would be the best way to go – perhaps
that’d be a good “first app” to create?

Thoughts?
