There is no such command supported, neither there is a tool for that in XPe
Repository.
However, it is only one API call (SetComputerName[Ex]) or registry change.
So it would be easier for you to compile your own utility.
Note: reboot is required.

You can use netsh. You also have a bunch of 3rd party tools to accomplish
that (e.g., ipchange).
Or you can do that with a script (WMI, etc.).

What registry change do you mean? I have found more than one registry key
that is named so.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ActiveComputerName
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName
If I change these keys I can ping the new computername and the old one, too.
In the computername Userinterface the old name is displayed.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName],"ComputerName"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters],"Hostname".

You need a reboot so that kernel can read the new name early enough to provide it to the interested drivers (network) and services
(server service, etc).
