Hi David. When you configure the System Cloning component, simply select
the option to keep the computer name, and the name will remain the same as
before the reseal. I don't know about the specifics of your technical query
about setupcn and setupcl, but if you have set the "Keep Computer Name"
option (Property cmiGenerateComputerName = 0), the name will not change on
boot. Then you just need to run your app to enact the name change.
Hope this helps clarify the situation. =)
