Why does the plugin try to rename the machine when I haven't asked it to?

[pauby]

Running a Vagrant machine with this configuration:

# Run Windows Domain Provisioner
client.vm.provision :windows_domain do |domain|
    # The Windows Domain to join.
    domain.domain = "test.local"
    # The new Computer Name to use when joining the domain.
    #domain.computer_name = "client"
    # The Username to use when authenticating against the Domain.
    domain.username = "test\\administrator"
    # The Password to use when authenticating against the Domain.
    domain.password = "xxxxxxxx"
    # The set of Advanced options to pass when joining the Domain.
    #domain.join_options = [ "JoinReadOnly" ]
    # Organisational Unit path in AD.
    #domain.ou_path = "OU=testOU,DC=domain,DC=Domain,DC=com"
    # Performs an unsecure join to the specified domain.
    #domain.unsecure = false
end

Note that I have commented out the value to rename the computer. But it results in:

Why is it trying to rename the computer?

It might be a bug, renaming should probably be optional but perhaps in the last few updates a regression came through (or perhaps it was never a consideration when I first created it).

Would you be willing to get your hands dirty to resolve?

@mefellows I would be happy to get my hands dirty. I have a huge time issue in doing so (as we all do) as I'm working on another few projects. But I have added it to my ever growing to do list. Hopefully I can get to it before somebody else does!

@thelastofreed This issue is almost a year old now but I do appreciate you responding. I'm not sure if what you say will work or not and I'm not in a position to test it. However the environment this issue was raised in still does exist even though it's been dormamt for a while now. If I get time I will blow the dust off of it and try it again.
