Description
After restoring a reference image captured on computer A (patched with KB5077181, OS build 26100.7840) onto computer B, the hostname on B is unexpectedly overwritten by A’s name. The GSS 3.3 RU9 job hasn’t ended yet, but computer B already appears Ready in the Ghost server console.
Environment
- Windows 11 24H2
- GSS 3.3 RU9
- Workgroup (not domain‑joined during imaging)
- Secure Boot enabled
Notes & Ask
This issue did not occur before late Feb 2026 and seems correlated with recent Windows updates (e.g., KB5077181, KB5074109). Has anyone seen hostnames reverting post‑restore under similar conditions? Any suggestions or workarounds would be appreciated.
