ESXi Cert - SAN mismatch

Hi

I am running into a strange issue. After my ESXi host has completed it's installation, when I try join it to vCenter, the VC refuses to join the host. It errors out about the host name not matching the name in the self signed cert. I know there is a KB that say just re-generate the cert. My issuse is I am trying to understand why when I use the same boot process I intermittently get this issue.

At a high level my hosts are all built via PXE boot and the run a kickstart script that does some basic setup then when the hosts reboots there is a first boot scritp that will configure the host name and static IP. At which point it will be joined to the VC.

Some pointers would be helpful
