I am attempting to automate OS installations using SCCM 2012 R2 (MDT). Clients are failing when the PE attempts to contact the SCCM server as the address is being specified as server.example.com instead of server.subdomain.example.com.

If I press F8 when PE gets the error I can see the SCCM server as server.subdomain.example.com so I know it's available via this path.

How do I set this value in the task sequence manually or on the fly in PE?

There isn't a way to change this setting in the task sequence or on the fly in PE. When PE is created it will look to see how the MP/SCCM server is publishing its name to AD.

What you could do is enter a static IP and give PE the DNS Suffix. Even if you're running DHCP you can boot to PE, hit F8, do an ipconfig /all, record the IP information then choose to set a static IP and place the IP, Subnet, gateway and DNS Suffix on this same range allowing you to try to hit a custom DP/SCCM server. Again though, it will depend on how SCCM is publishing to AD.

The short answer is no, but as always there is an alternative.
