This is a remedial question I know.. but when I deploy Windows 2008 / 2012 R2 the server guest name appends with -0.
It's an existing name , but it's WORKSTATION. If I power off the existing machine, and then redeploy that's when the problem occurs. I understand if its domain because those have to be unique, but what triggers WORKSTATION. are the VM tools doing a netbios lookup on the network somehow.. There is only 1 Windows server name live on the network with the same name at any given time (I may not be the brightest bulb but I do know basic stuff).
Obviously if I create a fresh new machine it's fine, it's only when I redeploy the problem occurs.. And it's only for Windows so I suspect it must be something to do with cached network or arp table..
Has anyone else seen this?
