The ability to enter a computer name from the deployment UI.
Instead of entering the name from the computer install, enter it from the UI when setting the deployment.

Many methods for naming exist already. We do not see this as a common enough use case at this time.

How would you propose doing multiple machines in the UI. Seems easy for a single machine, but anything more than that would be similar to using a text file like you can with get/set computer name.

You could technically enter the computername in the host section of inventory, then use kbem to upload a kbe with odbc in it, and query the db for the host name of said computer...

Not having to be physically present, utilize VNC, or maintain a wsname db file to set computer names.
