To my knowledge this is not possible for Windows clients (at least XP
and seven). Not even for some dummy network printers that simply ignore
any hostname offers from (ISC) DHCP server.

I was wandering too if this is possible, maybe somebody succedeed...


Heh I just found out. In "My Computer", there's a hostname tab, and the hostname sent from the server appears correctly. There's also a 'hostname' command usable in the DOS shell, that returns me the correct hostname. The FQDN appears as a part of ipconfig.

<sigh>

Jesus, how do sysadmins manage their daily work with such a braindead system?

</sigh>

Cheers,

Niki
