from
what i'm reading, cloud-init is what i'm needing to use, i installed
and
ran it to check it out. it changed the computer name, but i can't find
where to specify the computer name value or how to set domain info.
I think
cloudinit is used for linux and sysprep is used for windows. There is a new project that
has 'ported' cloudinit to windows. Google it.
That still leaves you with the problem to generate unique machine names and other unique
stuff per machine. Maybe cloudinit,sysprep will do that automatically? I don't know
that.
