Installer using short Netbios computername

Im installing to ctp6 to a vrtual server on a number of servers, seems fine until I get to a server that needs a servername >Netbios length of 15 Chars.
I have renamed the server as follows, it will connect using (local), . etc Or first 15 chars of computer name. What Do I need to do to enable connection strings where the computername is longer than the netbios name ?
<code>select
SERVERPROPERTY('servername')select
@@SERVERNAMEselect
* from Sysserverssp_dropserver
'sql-carEngineAPi'gosp_Addserver
'sql-carEngineAPi','local'GO
<Code>
