I typically will use commands with WSNAME.exe that will allow you to join and remove names from AD. I would set this up as a post install task within the K2000 appliance. WSNAME can be found here:

yes, the commands to look for are
/USER: Name of user with rights to perform the /RCID operation
/PASS: Password of user with rights to perform the /RCID operation
/DELETEEXISTING For use with /RCID, will attempt to delete an existing account with the new name
so
wsname /N:$SERIALNUM /deleteexisting /rcid /user:username /pass:password - cserrins 12 years ago

Or just go to my computer and change the computers name. This will be reflected in AD aswell.

What are you trying to do? When are you trying to do this? Are you trying to do this as a part of your image drop or are you asking how to use the RSAT and Active Directory Users and Computers + Manual rename on the machine?

+1 for wsname. It works great when setup correctly as a post install task.
