Linux linked clones not updating their hostnames

[CITS_MOE]

Hi All,

I have been testing out Linux linked clones with our Horizon 7.4 environment.

I am having trouble with RHEL and CentOS linked clones. I can get them to spawn ok, but they fail to update their hostnames and thus are all named identically the same as the Gold Master.

I have spawned up a SLED pool and the linked clones there manage to update their hostnames.

I have no idea where to look from here, I have been searching all the VMware doco I can find, as well as Googling with no luck.
I am unsure if everyone else just has this working or if no one is really trying at the moment.

I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction or shed some light.

Horizon: 7.4.0 build 7400497

vSphere: 6.0.0 Build 5318172

Agent: 7.4.0-7380911

CentOS: 7-1804

RHEL: 7.4 Update 4

SLED: 12 SP3

Kind Regards,

Leon Hewitt

This has less to do with view, but more with how you are customizing the os. The best way is to join them to AD, which will create a computer object, which should update DNS. If your not using AD you need to use a script to update dns for you. Thats been my experiance, but there may be other options, we only did a short experiment with linux VMs
