RDP Hostname

Hi, Probably a very easy one but I am a new user!
When we initially boot up into PXE the blade registers itself within RDP as the enclosure name/slot.
When we apply an image to the blade the name given to the Windows hostname uses the enclosure name/slot. The question is how can we rename the blade within RDP to the hostname we want Windows to use before we apply the image, therefore using the correct hostname?
Thanks for any help given.

Re: RDP Hostname

Mark,
In the deployment console when your device boots up it shows the SN/enclosure etc. of the blade. All you have to do is right click on the device that is in New Computers and rename it to the name you want to use for hostname. RDP will then use that name when it does the installation of whatever job you apply to it by default.
