Windows 10 Enterprise Computer Name Problems (SCCM 2012 R2 SP1)

Hi guys and gals

Has any of you bright minds seens similar behavour to this:

http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/12803-windows-10-enterprise-computer-name-problems-sccm-2012-r2-sp1/

-------------------------- RECAP ----------------------------

I'm having a strange issue, starting to mess around with building a Windows 10 Enterprise image for our campus and I seem to be having a problem with the task sequence properly reading in the computername that I give it.

Windows PE phase:

1. Prompt for OSDComputername using VB Script (same thing we have done with Win7/8.1 with no issues)

2. Use powershell to check variables: OSDComputername shows correct name and _SMSTSMachinename shows correct name.  Checking $env:computername in PE shows MINIWINPC or something (which is normal)

3.  After Apply Network Settings C:\windows\panther\unattend\unattend.xml shows the correct name

Windows phase:

1. Machine gets name WIN-XXXXXXX

2. Use powershell to check variables: OSDComputername shows correct name and _SMSTSMachinename shows correct name.  Checking $env:computername in PE shows WIN-XXXXXX or later in the task sequence DESKTOP-XXXXXX

3.  Machine joins domain and at end of task sequence has name of DESKTOP-XXXXXXX but seems to sometimes join domain under name WIN-XXXXXXX and end with DESKTOP-XXXXXX and cannot log into the machine (security database relationship error with domain controller)

Has anyone ran into anything like this in Win10 or Win7/8.1 and found a solution?  Out of probably 20 imaging attempts and fiddling with various settings I have only got it to get the correct name once...

Thanks

~Tom

Hi pembertj

I am seeing the same problem.

I made my .wim file on a SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 CU1 - without ADK 10 installed.

It's a regular Build and capture from the DVD media from Microsoft partner website (build 10240 x64)

My logfiles state the everything is all fine and dandy - but it gets ignored - just like your are seeing.

A scripted install though works just fine :)- but i would love it getting a build and capture to function too :)

Edit 1: Also had a look into c:\windows\panther\unatten\unattend.xml - to see if the computername is correct, which it is.

Edit 2: I took a closer look into c:\windows\debug\netsetup.log - to see what computername it thinks it has, and this shows me "Win-xxxxxx" - and i can see that it is successfully joined to the domain, afterwards i look on the domain, and love and behold, it is - BUT the computername of the machine is not "Win-xxxxx" it's "Desktop-xxx".

It's a bit strange.

Kind Regards

Letster

Hi Aaron

Tbh. the problem is resolved.
What solved the problem is a bit of a mystiry for me, since all i did was installing CU1 and taking another build and capture.
It seems like this was the solution - because after this, the problem ran away.

After the problem got resolved i actually also updated the ADK which didn't do anything since the problem was resolved prior the ADK installation.

But now we are running without problems and with ADK 10 - but i sadly can't say what it was that resolved the issue at hand.

Kind regards
