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()
$_computerType = "CN=Computer,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=dc,DC=net"
$path = "LDAP://$SiteDC/DC=dc,DC=net"
$domain = "domain"
$user = "user"
$pass = "password"
$de = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry($path,"$domain\$user",$pass)
$ds = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher($de)
$ds.Filter = "(&(ObjectCategory=computer)(samaccountname=$computerName$))"
$res = $ds.FindAll()
if ($res.count -gt 0) {
# Machine has been found
# Bind to the Computer Object in AD
$oldComputerObject = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry($res[0].path,"$domain\$user",$pass)
#$oldOU = $oldComputerObject.distinguishedName
$oldOU = $oldComputerObject.Path
Else {
$strFilter = "(Name=$computerName)"
$objDomain = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("LDAP://$SiteDC/dc=dc,dc=net","$domain\$user",$pass)
$objSearcher = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher($objdomain)
$objSearcher.SearchRoot = $objDomain
$objSearcher.PageSize = 1000
$objSearcher.Filter = $strFilter
$objSearcher.SearchScope = "Subtree"
$colPropList = "distinguishedName", "Name"
foreach ($i in $colPropList){$objSearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add($i) | Out-Null}
$colResults = $objSearcher.FindAll()
#$colResults.Count
if($colResults.count -gt 0) {
foreach($result in $colResults) { $target = $result.Properties }
$Error.Clear()
#$oldOU = $target.distinguishedname
$oldOU = [string]$target.adspath
Else {
write-host "`tWARNING: Unable to locate $computername in AD; Cannot move to correct OU"
ErrorLog "WARNING: Cannot move object $computername to correct OU; Not found in AD."
$destOU = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("LDAP://$SiteDC/$newOU","$domain\$user",$pass)
$oldComputerObject.PSBase.MoveTo($destOU)

How to rename Photos and Videos ???????

Could somebody please tell me how to rename Photos and Videos on Iphone5 ?
If you cannot, what is the logical explanation behind it ?
Would of thought this is something basic....

Since photos and videos should always be synced to a computer for storage, rename them there. I'm assuming you're trying to find a way to rename in the Photo app, right? Don't trust your phone or even icloud to safely store your photos. Think of the iphone as a digital camera. Most digital cameras don't let you rename a photo.

Pass password to Rename-computer

Hey all as the title says I need help to pass my AD credentials to rename-computer. The problem is when I put it in a loop it asks for them on every machine. How could I store it in a variable and then pass that to rename-computer. I don't think rename-computer
had a password switch.
Here's what I have now
$psr = $PSScriptRoot
$oldcomputers = Get-Content C:\Users\cody\Desktop\list.txt
$newcomputers = Get-Content C:\Users\cody\Desktop\newlist.txt
for($i=0;$i -lt $oldcomputers.Length ;$i++){
if(Test-Connection -ComputerName $oldcomputers[$i] -BufferSize 16 -Count 1 -ea 0 -quiet){
Write-Host $oldcomputers[$i]
Rename-computer –computername $oldcomputers[$i] –newname $newcomputers[$i] -DomainCredential doamin\cody\ -Force -restart
}else{
Write-Host $oldcomputers[$i] -ForegroundColor Red
Thanks!

Hi,
You can store a credential object this way:
$cred = Get-Credential
Run that, enter your credentials to save them in $cred, and then use $cred anywhere you need to pass the credentials.

HT201250 I use Time Machine to back up my entire computer with my external hard drive. I am getting a brand new iMac this month and was wondering what is the process of using this back up to restore my new computer exactly how my old computer was?

I use Time Machine to back up my entire computer with my external hard drive. I am getting a brand new iMac this month and was wondering what is the process of using this back up to restore my new computer exactly how my old computer was? I want to make sure I will still have various important files on my new computer, like my songs in iTunes, my photos in iPhoto, etc, etc. Thanks so much in advance!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
When you turn on the new iMac for the first time, Setup Assistant will ask you to restore a backup, so connect the external disk and follow steps to restore all your files to your new iMac. Your new Mac will have the same settings and programs as your old computer.
In other cases, I would recommend to restore the whole backup without using Migration Assistant or Setup Assistant, but a Late 2012 iMac uses a special OS X build, so the OS X version that you're using on your old Mac won't work on the new one.

How to rename a column name in a table? Thanks first!

I tried to drop a column age from table student by writing the
following in the sql plus environment as :
SQL> alter table student drop column age ;
but I found the following error
ORA-00905: 缺少关键字 (Lack of Key word)
I have oracle enterprise edition 8.0.5 installed at windows 2000
thank you
And I want to know how to rename a column name in a table?
thanks

In Oracle 8i, your syntax would have worked. However, if I
recall correctly, in Oracle 8.0, you can't rename or drop a
column directly. One way to get around that problem is to
create another table based on a select statement from your
original table, providing the new column name as an alias if you
want to change the column name, or omitting that column from the
select statement if you just want to drop it. Then drop the
original table. Then re-create the original table based on a
select statement from the other table. Then you can drop the
other table. Here is an example:
CREATE TABLE temporary_table_name
AS
SELECT age AS new_column_name,
       other_columns
FROM   student
DROP TABLE student
CREATE TABLE student
AS
SELECT *
FROM   temporary_table_name
DROP TABLE temporary_table_name
Something that you need to consider before doing this is
dependencies. You need to make a list of all your dependecies
before you do this, so that you can re-create them afterwards.
If there are a lot of them, it might be worthwhile to do
something else, like creating a view with an alias for the
column or just providing an alias in a select. It depends on
what you need the different column name for.

How to Rename a Topic ID in Map File to Avoid Conflict with Another Program?

Robo 8 HTML:
Can somebody assist me in understanding how to rename a topic ID in my map.h file?
An application programmer informs me there are nine topic IDs (shown below) in my project map file which conflict with predefined names of constants/functions from the Visual Studio Libs program and, is requesting I change the names of the topics listed below to resolve topic ID conflict in order to enable F1 call for these topics.
#define Open    59
#define Save    60
#define Print   63
#define Cut     72
#define Copy    73
#define Paste   74
#define Clear   75
#define Status 81
#define Substructure 139
Can I simply alter the topic names and retain their associated map numbers in <Create/Edit Map ID> dialog to resolve the map file conflict with Visual Studio Libs program functions? Or, is there more work involved in changing a topic name in a map.h file?
Any assistance with this question is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
robert

Hi,
Simply renaming the TopicID's in the .h file won't work. The TopicID is used in the alias file (projectname.ali) to link a map number with a topic. Also, you can use either TopicID's or map numbers to call the help. (Using TopicID's only works for WebHelp afaik.)
If you use map numbers to call the help, you can rename the TopicID using the mentioned dialog. No problem.
If you want to change the ID from the files, you have to change both the .h file as the .ali file. No changes to topics needed.

How to rename a file in Application server

Hi All,
Here I have a issue with the present file which is being generated in application server.
Before the completion of the file the EDI tool is extracting the file from the app server.So here I would like to generate the file with a temp name and then rename to the actual file name which EDI recognises and fetches.
Please correct me If I am wrong and let me know how to rename the file in application server.
Thanks,
Vijay N

you can try using unix command , if your application server is unix.
use move command
mv   <source> <target>
REPORT ZUNIX line-size 400
                no standard page heading.
data: unixcom like   rlgrap-filename.
unixcom = 'mv file1 file2'.
data: begin of tabl occurs 500,
        line(400),
      end of tabl.
data: lines type i.
start-of-selection.
refresh tabl.
call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' field unixcom
                id 'TAB'     field tabl[].
or else you can open dataset/ read the dataset and move it to another file and delete the old file.

How to rename the column name in oracle 8i?

hi,
Does anyone know how to rename the column name in oracle 8i?My method was drop the relationship key first then delete the old column,finally add the new column.
Thanks for your replay.
jing

There is no facilty to rename a column name in Oracle 8i. This is possible from Oracle 9.2 version onwards.
For you task one example given below.
Example:-
Already existed table is ITEMS
columns in ITEMS are ITID, ITEMNAME.
But instead of ITID I want ITEMID.
Solution:-
step 1 :- create table items_dup
as select itid itemid, itemname from items;
step 2 :- drop table items;
step 3 :- rename items_dup to items;
Result:-
ITEMS table contains columns ITEMID, ITEMNAME

How to rename folder in Final Cut Pro X project library?

How to rename folder in Final Cut Pro X project library? I can't double click on folder, when I right click it just gives options to erase. Can someone help?

I think you may have misunderstood - the question is regarding renaming a project "folder", not a project name.
Still, the accepted answer here makes no sense to me at all - it's about renaming an event. So we're all confused ;-)
BTW as of 10.0.5, I still cannot rename a project folder while background tasks are running - no clue is given that this is what's going on, second-clicking on the folder just (frustratingly) does nothing. When background tasks finish, it works again.
