I am using Lab Manager 3 and would like to be able to change the Name of a machine defined in the Workspace before I Clone and Deploy the Workspace. I have everything working with the supported APIs except the Name change.

I've looked at the LabManagerInternal services but don't see anything obvious.

Any suggestions?

You cannot rename them in place that I have found. However the clone method allows you to designate the new name that you are cloning to. I think this would be your best option

I was hoping to avoid using the Internal APIs.

For now, the only solution is to use the Internal APIs and assign the new name during the Clone invocation.
