I would like to use the computername in the BIOS as the source of the AD
Computername is that possibel?
 
The BIOS doesn't contain a computer name, but it does contain things like
serial number, asset tag, SMBIOS UUID, etc. There are ways to take these
values (typically using WMI) and use them to set the computer name (either
at install time by configuring the Unattend.txt or after install using WMI
or NETDOM), but it will take a small amount of scripting to do it.
