      @JoeG Hi, I disabled fogservice before sysprep and create cmd in c:\windows\setup\scripts, it works for activating fogservice but hostanme changer still having problem… I’ll try to do more test today and I come back with fog.log
      Important question : I use <ComputerName>*</ComputerName> in Sysprep, is it a good thing to do or it’s better to remove it ?
      Same for fog options “FOG_CHANGE_HOSTNAME_EARLY”, it’s uncheck, is it ok ?

      Fog 1.5.9.138
      Debian 11
      Vmware ESXi

          I have continued testing today and the hostname is changing correctly. I unchecked “FOG_CHANGE_HOSTNAME_EARLY” in FOG Settings. Sorry for the false alarm!

              @Matthieu-Jacquart So it’s not ok 😞
              I deployed 20 computers this morning, windows 10, removed from AD before deployment.
              Result : AD integration for all of them, but only 3 were able to have the right name.
              For the 17 others, random name.

              For example computer name “BOIS-64RNM4FT88” in AD :

              But even after multiple reboot, “S085P01” name never appears in AD…

              There’s line <ComputerName>*</ComputerName> in sysprep, is it really necessary ?

                @Matthieu-Jacquart That line (<ComputerName>*</ComputerName>) creates the system with a very random name.

                From @joe-schmitt:

                early_hostname_changer + sysprep + client issues
                Basically this is what was happening:
                early hostname changer runs
                Hostname is now updated
                Sysprep runs, changes it but not fully
                A reboot is needed
                Client runs, and according to its checks hostname is right
                So joins to ad
                Reboots
                Hostname is now wrong, and ad is joined
                So client re-joins
                Requiring 3 more reboot

                  @Tom-Elliott ok, I understood how works ComputerName in sysprep, but I wonder if it’s a good or bad idea to have it in syprep with fog deployment…
                  Same thing for early hostname changer, do I have to check it (uncheck for me) ?

                  2 hours later I have 3 more PC with right name in AD, but still 14 with random name…

                    Is it possible to confirm that the client is doing it’s job without sysprep involved at all? Can we do this just as a test?

                      @Wayne-Workman Done, I renamed a computer and disjoined AD, after that AD integration is good but not the name…

                        Is this still an issue?

                          @Tom-Elliott I hope it’s resolved with last client but I can’t be sure…
                          You can close the case, I couldn’t test more before mid-august…

                            Yes I can confirm, client 0.11.2 resolves this issue
