Windows 7 guest name

[John Krabacher <jk...@uchicago.edu>]

Hello,

Every Windows 7 image I deploy has the same computer name.  According to the documentation at https://cwiki.apache.org/VCL/management-node-installation.html it should be random.

WSName - Workstation Name Changing Utility
NOTICE: The WSName.exe utility is no longer available.  The set_computer_name.vbs script which calls WSName.exe will be rewritten for the 2.2 release of VCL. In the meantime, this script is being left intact in case you have a previously released version of WSName.exe or are able to obtain it from another source.
The wsname.exe utility is used by VCL to name Windows computers.  It does a reverse DNS lookup so that the computer name is set to the name registered for its public IP address.  The utility is called by set_computer_name.vbs when a Windows image is loaded.  The utility is not vital for the load process to work.  However, the computer will receive a random name if the script is missing or fails to run.


I need for the guests to have unique names when they're deployed and random names are fine by me.  Any idea why this isn't working?

Thanks,
John
