MicrosoftWhat we really need is the option to define a predefined device name in the deployment profile. All assignments that are dependent on the device name then wait for the device to be restarted because a reboot is always required for a rename. In addition, all software installation processes are interrupted during a reboot, which leads to an unsatisfactory user experience. It should be possible to create the device directly with the correct device name!
Indeed, setting up a correct device name leaves much to be desired. When a device is joined to Autopilot, it even skips the device name step during the OOBE of a fresh installation. This, combined with the lack of predefined device name options, makes it really cumbersome to change device names. Additionally, all devices will show up in portals once as DESKTOP-XXXXXX and stay like that if we don't change it.
Additional device name settings for Autopilot deployments would be more than welcome.
