Issue/Introduction

When Windows 10 is deployed to a computer using a 'Install Windows OS' task (SOI), the name given to the computer will be a 'random/generated' name, not the name that is in the console for the predefined and/or managed computer.

When Windows 10 is deployed to a computer using a 'Install Windows OS' task (SOI), the name given to the computer will be a 'random/generated' name, not the name that is in the console for the predefined and/or managed computer.

Cause

The @compname variable was not being properly tokenized from the database

Resolution

The @compname token is now properly tokenized if Windows 10 is the operating system being installed via the 'Install Windows OS' task.  This has been fixed in DS 7.6 HF5.
