Automatically Renaming Computer after imaging

Does anybody know how to do this? I have around 1000 computers i need to re-image and rename, but i cannot figure out how to do this through a utility or through a script.
I am running a with Bombich's Net Restore on a fairly vanilla server setup.

Thanks!, I hadn't thought of that and yes we do have remote desktop, so that is definitely an option.. i was just hoping to be even lazier!

  • How to rename computer account using Powershell 2.0

    Hi,
    For my Win7 deployment environment i need a script that can rename my workstation and it's Active Directory computer account.
    Is this possible using Powershell 2.0 included in Win7?

    I created a PowerShell script that, among other things, renames the computer.
    Function Rename-Computer ([string]$NewComputerName) {
    $comp = (gwmi win32_computersystem).Name.Trim()
    $ComputerInfo = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_ComputerSystem
    Write-Host "Renaming computer...`n`tOld name: $comp`n`tNew name: $apnewname"
    #Start-Sleep (10)
    $ComputerInfo.rename($NewComputerName) | Out-Null
    After that you should reboot
    function RestartMachine{
    $os = gwmi win32_operatingsystem
    $os.psbase.Scope.Options.EnablePrivileges = $True
    $os.Reboot()
    Or better yet just use the `Restart-Computer` cmdlet built into PoSH.
    Now, the original post also said there was a need to rename the computer object n AD.  Below are two functions I use primarily for moving AD objects into their appropriate OU home.  While that doesn't immediately answer the question or solve the
    problem, I do believe you can rename the object you bind to using a very similar method.
    # This was created with the idea that machines would join the
    # domain automatically, into a predetermined OU. From there,
    # we would determine which OU the machine should be in, then
    # move it by calling this function.
    function MoveOU ($newOU) {
    $comp = (gwmi win32_computersystem).Name.Trim()
    $dumpOU = "CN=Computers,"
    # DC=dc,DC=net
    $root = [adsi]""
    #CN=Computers,DC=dc,DC=net
    $srcOU = [adsi]("LDAP://"+$dumpOU+$root.distinguishedName)
    #OU=fixedOU,OU=testOU,DC=dc,DC=net
    $destOU = [adsi]("LDAP://OU=fixedOU,OU=testOU,"+$root.distinguishedName)
    #CN=COMPUTERNAME,CN=Computers,DC=dc,DC=net
    $admin = [adsi]("LDAP://CN="+$comp+","+$srcOU.distinguishedName)
    #$admin.psbase | get-member | where-object {$_.Name -eq "MoveTo"}
    #System.Void MoveTo(DirectoryEntry newParent), System.Void MoveTo(DirectoryEntry newParent, String newName)
    $admin.PSBase.MoveTo($destOU)
    Function Move-OU ($SiteDC, $newOU) {
    $computerName = (gwmi win32_computersystem).Name.Trim()

  • Config script after image??

    I'm a complete newb to ZenWorks.
    After imaging a laptop or PC and rebooting the machine there's this configuration script that runs and you have to wait for it before you can reboot. What exactly is going on during this process that takes so long? As far as I've been told it renames the computer and "other stuff". If the script fails then we're told to just manually rename the PC and call it good.
    So why wait for the script at all if I could just force the machine down, rename it manually and reboot it which would actually be faster to do unless I was imaging a whole lab of computers.
    So what's really going on behind the scenes?

  • Using powershell to name a device after imaging

    Hi All,
    I am trying to use a combination of a preboot bundle and powershell scripts to name a pc after initial imaging or reimaging.
    - Reimaging seems to work as long as the pc is joined to the windows domain after installation of zcm11.2.4 client
    but
    what is a reliable way to obtain the computer name for a pc not previously imaged, and name the device after imaging. I have been trying to use powershell scripts as per https://www.novell.com/communities/c...-registration/ .... but I seem to be missing something (I also do not have the HP bios utility available).
    Any ideas or words to provide clarity would be appreciated.
    Thank you
    Peter

    Hi
    Not sure I get what the issue is? It works, no? Is it the order
    that's the problem?
    Are you not able to rename with PS, or?

  • Why won't Photoshop revert to earlier history state after image resize when scripted?

    I've written an Applescript to automate watermarking and resizing images for my company. Everything generally works fine — the script saves the initial history state to a variable, resizes the image, adds the appropriate watermark, saves off a jpeg, then reverts to the initial history state for another resize and watermark loop.
    The problem is when I try not to use a watermark and only resize by setting the variable `wmColor` to `"None"` or `"None for all"`. It seems that after resizing and saving off a jpeg, Photoshop doesn't like it when I try to revert to the initial history state. This is super annoying, since clearly a resize should count as a history step, and I don't want to rewrite the script to implement multiple open/close operations on the original file. Does anyone know what might be going on? This is the line that's generating the problem (it's in both the doBig and doSmall methods, and throws an error every time I ask it just to do an image resize and change current history state):
                        set current history state of current document to initialState

    As many others here I use JavaScript so I can’t really help you with your problem.
    But I’d like to point to »the lazy person’s out« – with many operations that result in creating a new file on disk I simply duplicate the image (and flatten in the same step) to minimize any chance of damaging the original file if the Script should not perform as expected.

  • Can`t rename computer computer account is already exists

    We have domain on 2 DC`s(1 is GC and the 2nd is DC(Server 2008r2 ent)), Sometimes we need to replace old computers to the new ones. But they have to to be named like the old ones. So sometimes after removing old comuter from the AD, we still have an error
    message "Can`t rename, computer account is already exists" where else should we remove it????????

    Let's try the following:
    - configure the other domain controller as a Global Catalog - this should be the case in a single-domain forest
    - force the garbage collection by following http://blogs.technet.com/b/ad/archive/2009/03/24/taking-out-the-trash.aspx
    Check the list of deleted objects again afterwards.
    If this does not provide the resolution, restore the tombstone of one of the deleted computers (followhttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.tombstones.aspx ),
    rename it , and delete it
    hth
    Marcin
    i`ve tried all of that except, configuring other Dc as GC, i ve found an article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc737269(v=ws.10).aspx it
    says that nothing would happen if two DC`s will be GC`s, but it vad not been written that this article aplies to win2008r2 only to earliests OS`s, so i`m affraid if something wrong will happen if i will promote another DC to GC, or i`m wrong??!
    I couldn`t force garbage collection, but i`ve enabled log as you said, and it seems to be no trouble with it....
    about the restoring tombstone.... i ve stuck on the step when i should search the deleted object, because search result "getting 0 entries"
    The same thing is about the article that Sandesh Dubey had linked "http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd379509(v=ws.10).aspx"
    if i am not wrong, i should go to Configuration in tree of ldp and then to the Deleted Objects, but it says that there is no children.
    Please people be patience with me, i really am need your help!

    Regardless of being in development or not, "Captain Obvious" is is correct and the working .muse file is lost, meaning that you will have to start again from scratch.
    All the BC will contain is the published HTML and support files, not the .muse file which you would require to recover the site design.
    Might want to look into Time Machine or another automatic, timed backup source while you work.

  • Automatic renaming of columns

    Hi,
    Due to new busines requirements, I have to comment couple of tables in the query object. When I start compiling after commenting out the conditions and tables, it starts throwing errors BAD BIND VARIABLE xxx NOT DEFINED. Report has automatically renamed a lot of columns by itself, for e.g. a column called name has been renamed to name1. There are PL/SQL programs which refer the column name. Now when I attempt to compile the report it starts throwing the error BAD BIND VARIABLE name NOT DEFINED because it has been renamed to name1, automatically by reports. I am baffelled at this as the columns does not have any relationship to the commented out tables. Is there a way to avoid this.
    Thanks,
    Bharath

    The best way to avoid this is to alias the columns in the query. Whenever you make a change to the query, reports reparses the query. If other columns exist with the same name then a numeric suffix will be added. You could also apply the latest patch set (patch 10), as some fixes were made in this area.
    Thanks,
    Danny

  • Transfer Catalog to new computer after I've deleted photos on old

    I still use Photoshop Elements 5.0 since it does the basic things I need, although I could upgrade if necessary. My problem is that I want to transfer the CATALOG from my old XP computer to my new Win7 but I mistakenly deleted the photos (not the catalog) from my XP already! The photos are on my new computer but most of the catalog is not. Can I back up the catalog only, restore it to my new computer, and have it reconnect to the photos on my new computer? I have already seen the help articles on “Use Backup, Restore to move catalog” and “Common catalog upgrade issues”, but I don’t want to backup and restore the catalog and get everything messed up! BTW, although all the photos are on my new computer, the Win7 catalog references only August 2010 and May 2011-July 2012; the XP catalog contains references from July 2007-April 2011 (August 2010 is on both).

    Hi again, Ken. Thanks for all your help with this issue. I wanted to test my various ideas before responding to your latest message.
    Since I had a conglomeration of different images and captions on each computer, I defined what was where for each folder. All photos were on my new computer, some captioned many not, but most were not in a PSE catalog. Some but not all photos were on my old computer after I loaded photos from an incomplete flash drive copy, either captioned or not. I was afraid to do any backup and restores in case I messed things up further.
    Since I had more complete files on my new computer, I decided to work with it instead of backing up and restoring from my old. I decided to start with my new computer to “Get Photos” from folders not in a catalog; that includes most of my photos. I tested these depending on whether or not they were captioned and whether or not they were already in the catalog. I created a matrix to determine how to handle each “type” of folder: HD only, HD captioned, PSE only, PSE captioned, and various combinations. Don’t try to parse this! I tested each type of folder to determine what I had to do for each and made notes so I can complete the job as time permits.
    Soon I will perform a full backup. When I have “completed” the restoration task, I should be able to do an incremental backup and have everything on a 16GB flash drive, right?
    Yes, complicated, but I have learned a LOT about working with Photoshop Elements, and your comments have helped me with that. So, thanks for your attention to my problem. I still have a bunch of work to do, but I think I know what I’m doing now. At this point I can delete all photos and catalogs from my old computer (a 2005 Dell Inspiron 6000) and give it to a friend whose computer is even older (a 1998 or older computer that is barely operational).
    Again, thanks for your help!

  • HT4623 my phone does not show up in my computer after update

    my phone does not show up in my computer after update

    Hey there, i got the same Problem with my MacBook Pro (Mavericks 10.9.4) and two iPhone´s 5 with the iPad 2 and the iPad Air, (all with iOS 7.1.2) since 2months. SOLUTION???
    Since the change of Snow Leopard on Mavericks, the entire system of the MacBook is much slower. This is already noticeable at the beginning (start the MacBook Pro). It runs through the entire software. z.Bsp. Open Safari / Outlook, iTunes and more. for about 2months absolutely no back-up of my devices is possible!!
    Every time when you connect the hardware (iPhone 5 / iPad 2 / iPad Air) iTunes stops responding and needs to close above EXIT NOW!! No back-up's my hardware (see above) possible!!!
    but iPhoto is running with the devices and at least I can transfer the images.

    Why does my phone automatically hang up after 2 hours of talking?

    I don't know the particulars but it's not hard to image that when the connection detects no traffic for a certain period of time it automatically disconnects.

  • IPad no longer recognized by any computer after 4.2.1 update

    Hi,
    my iPad is no longer recognized by any computer after the 4.2.1 update. It does not show up in iTunes and this even in recovery mode. When connected to charger it does not show that it would charge (but it does). The iPad is still usable except in the iPod app is says "cancelling sync" and does not show any music.
    I already reinstalled iTunes, reinstalled the Apple Mobile Device Service, used different computers with different OS version, but it does not show up, not even in the system profiler (USB tab).
    Any idea what I should do? I mean it is quite unlikely that there is a hardware issue as the problems appeared right after the 4.2.1 update (from 4.2).
    Thanks in advance

    Yes I know, I already reset like 100 times. Turned off-on...
    I guess a recovery could solve the problem, but how do it if the iPad does not even appear in iTunes. I guess it is somewhat stuck in "cancelling sync" and therefore will not accept an USB connection (the USB port behaves like it is deactivated).
