@Sebastian-Roth said in Centos7 hostname change not working:

Zazzles.d

Sebastian-Roth, you were spot on. Worked like a champ. Many thanks. Is it safe to assume that this fix will be in the next Fog image? Thanks again for the quick response. Brett

running latest version of FOG server and client here…so looking thru the client side fog-log (file attached)…and yes the change hostname is enabled both globally and in the host configuration. I also found other Ubuntu issues where they had to check the AD box that says “Name Change/AD Join Forced reboot?” and this also didn’t seem to help.

It seems that this maybe the issue…
