      This is a computer joined to the domain (laptop)
      ff71edc7-465a-4317-9ef2-2e97c4cb50e2-image.png

      The computer name shows as Device-LT00684, however in AD for what ever reason, the canonical name is much different DOMAIN/Computers/-Device-LT00684 CNF:443877f9-ab72-4657-b397-ee7b99098aa8

      Running host name on the device itself again shows that the device name is just LT00684.

      What would cause such weirdness?

        @gjacobse Weird is right.

        the closest I've seen is when 'nix boxes get a DHCP - they send this number that is some form of extended MAC as the hardware ID.

        Interested to hear what you find out.

          DHCP seems reasonable. Or there was a conflict.

            in my case it's something in the way many Linux's now work. This thread talks about it.

              Not clicking the link, but it is the last 4 sets of the MAC address and the machine id as noted in /etc/machine-id. It is part of the DHCP RFC.
