Description Arvid Requate

This bug was split off from Bug #42124

If a DHCP entry is configured before installing a UCS host is joined, the client already receives its hostname, but USS still generates a random one. This this error is very likely to happen. USS should use the provided hostname instead.

We had another report about a usability problem leading to Bug 42124. I was able to ask the reporter for more details and it turned out that in that case a machine account of type IP managed client had been created to make the DHCP server issue an IP address for the new system but then during installation the customer chose the role memberserver. This is something we should improve in the system setup, too. System setup should then prescribe the role, or ask for Admin credentials to explicitly change it on the fly.
