[wpkg-users] same hostnames

Machine name is important only for microsoft network.  Organization
working with Novell per example will appily be working with computer
with the same name.

WPKG however work with computername.

I avoid conflict byt using unattended, this work wonderful.

If that is not possible, I suggest that you try to rename offending
computer using NETDOM.  I guess that could be run from the logon script,
or from WPKG.

I'm thinking about a script that could recover the MAC adress, compare
it against a value stroe in a text file and change the computer name if
they are not the same.

But I'm not good enough in scripting to provide you with anything... :(

Anyway, I wish you luck!
