What's this supposed to be a patch against?

It's not a patch; I think it's a script/ or code to sync the hostname of the #running# client (in Windows XP/2003) to that of the hostname provided by the DHCP Server and/or iPXE (iBFT).

Observations: This probably wouldn't work on a Domain-joined client.
