I keep getting a hard-coded computer name message in my service template design. I am using the @name@ variable. even when I use @computername@ or any other variable, it still gives me this error. It worked initially, allowing me to supply a name at deployment but subsequently it insists that it has a hard-coded name. When I do a deployment, the server is named WITH the @ symbols!
Also, I've tried to follow Greg Shields demonstration and TechNet article on creating a scale-out RDS server. He uses @RDSFirstServerName@ but my service template limits the computer name field to 15 characters. How is it he's able to get away with this and I can't? Is it because he's using VMM 2012 and I'm using 2012 R2? Or is there something I'm missing here to support longer variable names?
