I¹m not finding that this is an appearance issue. The Computer Name doesn't
get populated and the Hostname returns as "Macintosh.local".

I rely on Casper (or Casper Imaging) to enter the name during the time of
imaging a machine because we don¹t pre-populate our JSS with machine data
and pull names. If the machine name is not present on the computer after
imaging then Active Directory and Open Directory binding doesn¹t happen
correctly.
