Win2k :The computer name changes whenever I execute re-installation of Windows 2000.

The computer name changes whenever I execute re-installation of Windows 2000.

For example;
Computer name before recovery: z9xq0tgwjz4
Computer name after recovery: sftlei45vek

It occurs because a different character string is used as a default of the computer name whenever the re-installation of Windows 2000 is executed.
