How to set the IGEL OS host name to match the previous PC name, after converting

I dont believe you can set a name for the IGEL during the imaging unless there is some config file you could generate on the fly.

The easiest way to do it would be to pre-import all your devices into the igel console with a csv file using the mac address and the name you want them to have. Then on first check in, they will rename themselves.

I personally use long format imports, but this site will give you a general idea how its done.
