Assign PC name at deployment

[markjs]

Hello, 

I want SmartDeploy to assign a new computer name at deployment. I have selected the option for this in the answer file wizard>advanced options>identification , yet when the image is deployed the PC retains its original name. I created fresh answer files to no avail.

I suspect, maybe wrong, that this is causing issues with the computers SID, ie, its not changing. Its like SmartD is not syspreping properly, or something. I dont know, im lost. Its having a knock on effect i think with the machines getting GPO's.

Any thoughts, pointers etc welcome.
