Hey Chad, you were spot on - thank you! Using setting the value of *agent.auto.register.hostname* with auto-registration worked like a charm, however I had to delete the existing guid.txt & token files to allow the auto-registration to kick-in once the service is restarted!
Thank you for your help!
