How to set a company's Windows based PC settings into an Ubuntu PC

I need to install Ubuntu 18.04 alongside Windows 10 but when I do that our IT cannot set administrative settings for Ubuntu like Windows because they don't know anything about Linux. So, I cannot connect internet with Ubuntu. So is there any way to set Ubuntu user and device names same as Windows so the internet provider of our company's server will not see any difference. For example;

Windows side;

User name         user

Device name       XYZ-11
Full device name  XYZ-11.company.com

EDIT-1

In the user accounts panel, there are five different users and two different domains;

Username Domain Group
adminuser XYZ-11 Administrators; Users
Help1 COMPANY Administrators
Help2 COMPANY Administrators
first XYZ-11 Administrators
user COMPANY Administrators; Performance Log Users

In the System Properties / Computer Name;

Full computer name: XYZ-11.company.com
Domain: company.com

When I try to change name and it's domain I can see (again);

Computer name: XYZ-11
Full computer name:
XYZ-11.company.com

Member of:
    Domain:
        company.com

When I click More... button same names on the DNS suffix of this computer and NetBIOS computer name.

In the network settings we are connecting to the company.com network.

I'll look for authentication of our system (but probably MAC and/or computer name related authentications, I guess).

END of EDIT-1

Is there anyway to do that?

If this question is not belong here, I am sorry for that.

Thanks. Best regards.

It depends. You'll have to figure out how the WIndows devices is managed. But you have to work with IT on this, don't attempt a solo show.

Altough this is not answering your question directly it might be the easiest way to get your problem solved.

To have Ubuntu alongside Windows 10 you could have a look into WSL, see here how to install and get ubuntu from here.

You will not have to set anything special and your ubuntu should be connected to the internet.

Thanks. I am developing an embedded device wich is containing NVIDIA Jetson Nano module. I am familiar with directly cross-compiling using Ubuntu Host but not with WSL. But I think I will have to figure it out. Or I'll look for a solution due to the @vidarlo's advice but our IT is hopeless case.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
