Thanks for the info

my suggestion join secure did not work as it only works with WDS and Microsoft Deployment Tools. Its a shame with sysprep not being able to bypass comutername easily

I hope you work gets put in to a future release oF FOG as the Change Hostname Early feature does not work as intended

Its in the registry

my understanding is you also need to be using the the join secure in example 2

I have found the same thing that you are have found

Early hostname changer does change the name as when we did an xp image without sysprep the name was the same as the one in the FOG Database.

for xp soe we ended up using wsname as we could not get sysprep to leave the computer name alone

This can be done in Windows 7 in the unattend.xml

You have to use the same syntax that is in the join secure example 2

Hope this helps
