I use the simple networking model. I use a combination of vbs scripts, cmd and curl. Essentially the script runs: ipconfig /all | findstr /C:""DHCP Server"" which gives me the IP address of the VR in my environment (this will change for each region so can't be hardcoded). I then use some regular expressions to strip out that IP address. A curl to http://IPADDRESS/latest/local-hostname will give you the name that the machine is meant to have. Then all you need to do is run: netdom renamecomputer localhost /newname:"& newName &" /Force /reboot 30
It's certainly not as elegant as the linux solution and if anyone else has any ideas I'd love to take them onboard.
