I am having a problem with ARD 3 and 10.4.8 clients. Specifically,
I use the "change computer name" on a machine, and ARD tells me the

But, when the machines are rebooted, they seem to revert back to
their original name. I don't recall this happening the first few
times I used it... anyone got any ideas?
Hi Chris,
are using managed (Open Directory) environment or your macs are
standalone? If first is the case, than the settings in the
OpenDirectory (WGM -> Computer Accounts > Computer name -> use this
name for managed computers) is overriding the settings you apply
manually or with ARD.
Thanks for all the replies, both on-list and off.
Yes, the machines are all in an OD, I should have said this before.
Does this mean I have to turn off that setting for all the computers
in the computer list? I notice there is no "select all" option :-P
