bradje1I do not understand still how it could get the OMSALIVE hostname at all. Would you kindly explain that again?
It is reported by OMSA. If you booted the server to any of our utility discs I believe the default hostname is OMSA live. That is likely how that host name got there. The SMTD, SBUU, OMSALive, and any other OMSA based CD/DVDs would probably have that host name. If you booted to one of those and then exited without a full server restart and allowed it to boot to the current OS then the host name may not have updated. That is my guess as to what happened.
Check inside OMSA on the server. If the host name is reported correctly from OMSA within the server then a restart would likely resolve. I'm pretty sure that the host name is only updated once on boot and is not actively updated. I would have to check with someone in escalations to be sure on that though.
If OMSA is not reporting the host name correctly then I would suggest uninstalling/reinstalling OMSA and making sure you have a compatible version installed.
The other possibility I can think of is a communication issue with OMSA. Having an old BIOS version and a new OMSA version or vice versa may cause the host name to not report correctly.
If none of those ideas help you out then let me know and I'll ask our escalation group for ideas tomorrow.
Thanks
