<DIV>hi,</DIV>

<DIV>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Maybe this is not a perfect solution.<BR>There is no domain network it was very interesting and very convenient.<BR>You can add this functionality, plus a reminder to use the domain network users do not use this function.</DIV>

<DIV>In the future there is a better scheme and then modify it.</DIV>

&gt;&gt;&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;...However,&nbsp;I&nbsp;think&nbsp;it

&gt;&gt;&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;would&nbsp;be&nbsp;useful&nbsp;if&nbsp;sanbootconf&nbsp;could&nbsp;store&nbsp;the&nbsp;hostname&nbsp;*somewhere*&nbsp;in

&gt;&gt;&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;the&nbsp;registry;&nbsp;this&nbsp;would&nbsp;allow&nbsp;a&nbsp;user&nbsp;who&nbsp;wants&nbsp;auto-renaming&nbsp;machines&nbsp;to

&gt;&gt;&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;implement&nbsp;it&nbsp;without&nbsp;requiring&nbsp;specific&nbsp;knowledge&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;iBFT.

&gt;&gt;

&gt;&gt;&nbsp;Agreed.&nbsp;&nbsp;A&nbsp;good&nbsp;place&nbsp;might&nbsp;be&nbsp;in&nbsp;sanbootconf's&nbsp;registry&nbsp;key,

&gt;&gt;&nbsp;Parameters\&nbsp;subkey.

&gt;

&gt;From&nbsp;everything&nbsp;else&nbsp;you&nbsp;said,&nbsp;I&nbsp;think&nbsp;I'm&nbsp;decided&nbsp;that&nbsp;changing&nbsp;the&nbsp;actual&nbsp;

&gt;hostname&nbsp;is&nbsp;a&nbsp;Bad&nbsp;Idea.&nbsp;&nbsp;The&nbsp;question&nbsp;is&nbsp;just&nbsp;then&nbsp;where&nbsp;to&nbsp;store&nbsp;the&nbsp;

&gt;hostname&nbsp;so&nbsp;that&nbsp;other&nbsp;software&nbsp;could&nbsp;use&nbsp;it.

&gt;

&gt;One&nbsp;option&nbsp;is&nbsp;to&nbsp;store&nbsp;it&nbsp;under

&gt;

&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;CCS\Services\sanbootconf\Parameters\iBFT\NIC\0\hostname

&gt;

&gt;i.e.&nbsp;store&nbsp;all&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;parameters&nbsp;from&nbsp;the&nbsp;iBFT&nbsp;(or&nbsp;sBFT,&nbsp;or&nbsp;whatever&nbsp;firmware&nbsp;

&gt;boot&nbsp;table&nbsp;we're&nbsp;using)&nbsp;in&nbsp;registry&nbsp;entries&nbsp;corresponding&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;table&nbsp;

&gt;structure.&nbsp;&nbsp;This&nbsp;has&nbsp;the&nbsp;advantage&nbsp;that&nbsp;it&nbsp;exposes&nbsp;all&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;firmware&nbsp;boot&nbsp;

&gt;table&nbsp;information,&nbsp;without&nbsp;requiring&nbsp;a&nbsp;user&nbsp;to&nbsp;parse&nbsp;the&nbsp;raw&nbsp;table.&nbsp;&nbsp;The&nbsp;

&gt;disadvantage&nbsp;is&nbsp;that&nbsp;the&nbsp;user&nbsp;needs&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;specifically&nbsp;aware&nbsp;of&nbsp;sanbootconf.

&gt;

&gt;Another&nbsp;option&nbsp;is&nbsp;to&nbsp;find&nbsp;a&nbsp;suitable&nbsp;generic&nbsp;registry&nbsp;entry&nbsp;to&nbsp;hold&nbsp;the&nbsp;

&gt;DHCP-assigned&nbsp;hostname.&nbsp;&nbsp;This&nbsp;would&nbsp;have&nbsp;the&nbsp;advantage&nbsp;that&nbsp;the&nbsp;user&nbsp;does&nbsp;not&nbsp;

&gt;need&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;specifically&nbsp;aware&nbsp;of&nbsp;sanbootconf.&nbsp;&nbsp;Unfortunately,&nbsp;I&nbsp;don't&nbsp;know&nbsp;of&nbsp;

&gt;any&nbsp;such&nbsp;registry&nbsp;entry.
