Hi, I had to rename a machine name today because someone used the same
name on two computers. I just added a random character to the machine
name and I thought that since I have the idealx script setup to
auto-create machines accounts it would add it automatically but it
didn't so I had to get the computer out of the domain and rejoin it with
it's new machine name so it would add it automatically. Is this a bug or
is that how it's supposed to work?

This works the same way in Windows domains and is a feature/issue with
the way Windows clients handle domain membership. You cannot rename a
machine in Windows w/o breaking it's domain membership w/o first
removing the machine from the domain, renaming the machine, rebooting,
and then rejoining the machine to the domain under the new name.
