Hi Marc, happy new year.

hostname on both DC's is in lowercase i.e. dc01 & dc02, when you 
provision the domain, you are not asked for the hostname, the same goes 
when you join the domain as a DC. Something in the join turns the 
hostname into uppercase, which is correct I do not know, but I think 
they both need to be the same, either both uppercase or both lowercase.

I think I will have a look at the python scripts, I cannot write python, 
but I can generally get the gist of what they are trying to do.
