Read Original

This technical article explains how to programmatically set a custom hostname for a Windows Amazon Machine Image (AMI) during launch, rather than accepting a random name. It details using PowerShell to read the hostname from an EC2 instance tag and modifying the SysPrep unattended.xml file in the specialize phase to enable automated, scalable server deployment in AWS.
