Apple IOS devices not showing name in DHCP

AdamF1

I just noticed that newer IOS ( not sure what train) is no longer showing the name of the unit in our microsoft DHCP server. I have been scouring the web and can't really find an explanation for this. We using umbrella for DNS and are running 5520's with 8.10.183. I don't think the issue is with the wireless, I'm thinking it lies in the IOS code and what its sharing in the DHCP request. I tested at home on my Eero setup and it displays my "host name" fine for my phone running 16.x.x

Have you tried to validate with private ip address disabled and enabled to see if that makes a difference?

Hey Scott,

Thanks for the reply. I plan on trying it at work tomorrow however when I’m at home on my eero mesh system I am able to get the host name with it enabled. What you suggested is the only thing I have been able to find thus far. 

Its something to try, because it would be the device that either send the information or not.  Reading some other post in other forums, folks have ran into that with private address enabled, but not when disabled.
