oem-config is probably not the best solution for you. Try the
system-imager* packages instead.

Try this. . . . Assume a user name of "penguin", the first host name
is "oldname", and the name you want is "newname". Set up the machine
with "oldname" as the host name.

Change the host name to "newname". Reboot.
Then execute the following commands:

# rgrep oldname /etc >> /home/penguin/newname.log
# find /dev | grep oldname >> /home/penguin/newname.log
# rgrep oldname /boot >> /home/penguin/newname.log
# rgrep oldname /var >> /home/penguin/newname.log
# rgrep oldname /usr/share/ >> /home/penguin/newname.log

Then open /home/penguin/newname.log. If the file is empty, you found
everything. If it's not, you overlooked something.

We have found imaging to be a suboptimal solution in a manufacturing
environment, for a variety of reasons. It's cheaper, faster, and more
reliable to use oem-config.
