OK, I powered on the new laptop, answered the questions, it asked me for a
local username. Since it will be in a domain, I put in a dummy name. I
joined the domain, etc...

Well now when I see the properties of the laptop, the laptop is registered
to the dummy name.

How can i change that name, regedit....?

Thanks,
Tom...
