Smartin -
I've not tried, but believe the value stored in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\control\ComputerName\ComputerName", "ComputerName", "REG_SZ".

Also, if running Ethernet check
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\MSTCP", "HostName", "REG_SZ".

and

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNetSup", "ComputerName", "REG_SZ"

to synchronize system name with DNS values.

You may need to explore any possible issues with locally shared drives and/or printers before implementing. Perhaps someone who has implemented can provide further guidance.
