Computername doesn't change during task sequence

By kevlar01,
Hi,
Since a while we have problems with a step during our Windows 10 task sequence. This step is a powershell script which changes the computer description based on a variable which is set during the OSDMenu.hta (a form which pops up in the beginning of the task sequence where the computerdescription is filled out).
For whatever reason, this step doesn't work anymore, but in the past this worked fine.
The computerdescription isn't too long (more than 15 characters), and the user

Weird Issue with Device Reimage - DELL Alienware Aurora Devices
By coolsport00,
Hey gang -
We just got new DELL Alienware gaming devices to disperse to high schools for gaming sports. Had to tweak things in our OSD Task Sequencing to get these to image properly due to having 2 disks (1 PCIe and 1 HDD; they were 'backwards' as far as Disk 0 & Disk 1 goes. Disk 0 is the HDD and we need the OS deployed on the PCIe). Anyway, got that sorted ok. Was able to get these imaged and settings deployed fine. But, one thing happened during my OSD testing. I can get these device
Problem upgrade W10 via SCCM
By adelgehier,
Hello,
I am currently trying to update workstations with SCCM to go from Windows 10 1903 to Windows 10 21h1.

HP Elitebook x360 1040 G8 pxe issue
By frank czech,
We use Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager to image computers. We have new HP elitebook x360 1040 g8 laptops and we are unable to image them. We added the new Hp client pxe park along with the nic, chipset and storage drivers and still cannot image. We updated the boot image to include the above drivers and the IP4 loads and stops at where the MECM screen will appear. The laptop just sits there no matter how long we wait.
we are able to image G6 laptops without any issues.
