Here's a portion of a PowerShell script we use:
$Serial = Get-WMIObject -Class Win32_Bios
$CompSystem = Get-WMIObject -Class Win32_ComputerSystem
$Model = $CompSystem.Model
$Manufacturer = $Serial.Manufacturer
if ($Manufacturer -like "*Dell*") {$Manufacturer="Dell"}
if ($Manufacturer -like "*Hewlett*") {$Manufacturer="HP"}
$ServiceTag = $Serial.SerialNumber
#Renaming PC
$CurrentName = $env:COMPUTERNAME
if ($CurrentName -match $ServiceTag) {}
else { Rename-Computer -computername $CurrentName -newname $ServiceTag }

Subject: [NTSysADM] Rename PC batch/ powershell/ VB
Hi All,
I promise that I have Google searched this but unable to find a easy answer.
I want a script to run after a machine is cloned that will rename the machine
account to the serial number.
I know I can get this by using wmic bios get serialnumber, ideally, prefixed
with thin-, so thin-012345 for example.
I can put the script to be called on the runonce reg key on next boot, but
cannot get it formatted so it works correctly.
Could anyone assist please?
