[mdt] MDT 2013 Update2 changes hostname during Win10 deployment

[kkkk1]

I am rolling out a Windows 10 enterprise x86 image using a Litetouch deployment. When starting the deployment I give it a name such as Laptop-86 but when the deployment has finished I end up with Desktop-xxxxx hostname. I have compared my Answer file to other images I have deployed such as Windows 7 etc and there is no duplicate entry in there. In addition I checked the BDD.log file and while it shows my laptop-86 hostname initially, further down the log it shows as renaming it to desktop-xxxxx but I can't see WHY it's renaming it. I have Googled this but haven't found anything that helps yet. Does anyone have any ideas? It's driving me nuts.

 

Thanks.

Are you defining it in custom settings.ini ?

Not linked to SQL is it?

I defining to say I need to enter the username in the LTI wizard but not actually setting the name itself in the custom settings.ini

Are you setting the name in the wizard?

We use ours with a database of machine names held in the SQL database that MDT uses. It saves a lot of hassle to be honest. New machines are added as they arrive at the school.

Yes I'm setting it in the Litetouch wizard which it accepts. However once it's finished deploying it defaults it's name back to DESKTOP-XXXXXXXX

 

Thanks,

I am having this issue as well... Was a solution ever found? What is causing it?
