Computer Name Issue: Domain Joined
-
This is a computer joined to the domain (laptop)
The computer name shows as Device-LT00684, however in AD for what ever reason, the canonical name is much different
DOMAIN/Computers/-Device-LT00684 CNF:443877f9-ab72-4657-b397-ee7b99098aa8Running host name on the device itself again shows that the device name is just LT00684.
What would cause such weirdness?

@gjacobse Weird is right.
the closest I've seen is when 'nix boxes get a DHCP - they send this number that is some form of extended MAC as the hardware ID.
Interested to hear what you find out.

DHCP seems reasonable. Or there was a conflict.

in my case it's something in the way many Linux's now work. This thread talks about it.

https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2288212-strange-extra-long-linux-mac-address-in-dhcp-active-leasesNot clicking the link, but it is the last 4 sets of the MAC address and the machine id as noted in
/etc/machine-id. It is part of the DHCP RFC.
