When you use the Sysprep tool to deploy computers, the ComputerName from the Sysprep.inf file is always converted to uppercase when mini-setup finishes.

To workaround this problem:

1. Use the registry editor to navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesTcpipParameters.

2. Change the data values in the Hostname and NV Hostname stringsto lowercase.

3. If Hostname is present at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesTcpipParametersDNSRegisteredAdapters, change it also.

4. Exit the Registry Editor.
