They all should match

Actually for some of them also the hostname is wrong.
I'll update all 4 machines to have correct names.

Comment 2

[Andrei Eftimie]

This is actually a limitation of NetBIOS to 15 characters:

I think I'll leave the Vista machines names consistent to:
`mm-win-vista-x`

All 4 nodes are back online.

We still have a disconnect between the name we use in Jenkins `mm-win-vista-32-X`
And as a network name since we can reach all machines at `mm-win-vista-32-X.qa.scl3.mozilla.com`

But their names and description is now set at `mm-win-vista-X` because of the 15 characters limitation in NetBios as mentioned in comment 2

Yes, that is something we cannot change. Unfortunately. Thanks for doing the update Andrei!
