Default Hostname does not change when changing Computer name


Hello!
I have used sysprep 1.1 to make imaged "easy"
installations.
When I had finished the "mini setup" I found out that i
misstyped the Computername and changed it afterwards.

What I found out was that ipconfig /all still shows old
hostname and I manually had to go through registry to
change hostname and NV hostname.

What to do?

Are you saying that if you rename your computer and restart it does not
"stick" and the old name remains?
