[Casper] Computer Name is not populating when imaging

[Ernst, Craig S.]

If I understand correctly Casper will pull the machine name as it exists on Macintosh HD, if you were reimaging a machine that had a readable Macintosh HD partition, or it will pull the machine name from the data it has about that machine in the JSS. As far as the command it's using to do that I imagine the app is simply modifying a plist.

Not sure if it's just: Library -> Preferences -> SystemConfiguration -> com.apple.smb.server.plist

I see it changes the ServerDescription tag, but other than that I'm not sure.

What I'd be happy to know is the command that Casper uses to set the machine
name. Is it looking for a file that's not there? Or are they using a
built-in command like systemsetup, which is in different paths in 10.4 and
10.5? Even running that command doesn't set the Hostname, only the Computer
Name.
