Hello tacticalt,
I assume the automatical renaming after domain join is possible with scripting.
But therfore i suggest to use the scripting forums. Keep in in mind that
the NetBios name is supported up to 15 characters and the serial is 25 characters
+ the "-" in between.
Best regards
Meinolf Weber
