Device discovery

Device discovery is setting the system name to the host name portion of the system's FQDN. Is there a way to rename these? I have tried using a hostfile to specify the desired names but each time I import it, it keeps setting the system name to the host name.

Re: Device discovery

currently the only way to override DNS is to add entries to the Windows hosts file and then delete and rediscover the devices.

This file is located at

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
