Set Computer name by computers serial number ?

Hi guys!
I need a simple script or something to set computer name(serial number) and add computer to our domain. Computer name should be for laptop, LT-"serialno" and for Desktop it should be DT-"serialno"
Is there a simple way to fix this? I have tried WSname, but no luck there. My scripting skills are equal with zero.
Thx for all help and tips!

You need to start learning script somewhere.  We can help but we will not write scripts for you.

  • Change computer name using partial serial number

    I'm starting to learn Powershell and I'm stuck trying to automate a computer name change. The code below works to rename the computer and reboot but I would like to shorten it and I'm not sure how. The serial number is 15 characters which makes the computer
    name with the prefix added 18 charactes long. How can I modify it so that it takes the last 10 of the serial number plus the prefix? We are using Powershell 4.
    The script changes the name to something like MCT1234567890ABCDE
    What I would like is MCT67890ABCDE
    $serial = Get-WmiObject win32_bios | select -expand serialnumber
    $newname = "MCT" + $serial
    Rename-Computer -NewName $newname -Force -Restart

    Hi,
    The serial number is 15 characters which makes the computer name with the prefix added 18 charactes long.
    You might run into problems with this, considering there's a 15 character limit on NetBIOS names:

  • Cs2/Windows 7x64 - User name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid?

    Ok, I'm at my wits end on this one.  I've installed and reinstalled this CS2 suite multiple times, tried to find the proper registry keys, pretty much anything i can think of to get this to work, but every time I go to boot up one of the programs in the suite (such as Photoshop) I get an error stating "Your Adobe Photoshop user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid.  The application cannot continue and must now exit".  There is only an OK box, and absolutely no way for me to look at the licensing information to see what it's getting hung up on.
    I've confirmed everything is correct upon installation.  I can't find an e-mail address for Adobe's customer support so I'm asking you guys - what the hell is going on with this software?  Anyone fix this before?

    @exshopper
    A few quick items:
    (1)     I genuinely hope you find satisfaction with PaintShop Pro and that it meets your needs, whatever they are.
    (2)     Bob Levine is not and has never been an employee of Adobe Systems Incorporated. He does speak his mind and certainly lets Adobe know when our products and policies need improvement. Without attempting to put words in his mouth, I think you may be objecting to the fact that he does understand the needs of software developers in terms of marketing and supporting their products and the value of same to customers. He does rightly point out that the monthly subscription costs for the tools they use to earn their living usually amount to far less expenditure than many if not most creative professionals spend each day on their favorite beverages. There is still a major failure of many computer users to comprehend the cost of development and support of software simply because software isn't “tangible” in the way computers, printers, and other peripherals are.
    (3)     When you refer to purchasing “the CS2 suite for 1500 pounds (over $3000 back then)” I assume that you are referring to the Creative Suite 2 Premium which included every creative product that Adobe had at the time including InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, GoLive, Version Cue, Bridge, Acrobat, etc. The “back then” was early 2005, nearly a decade which is an awful long time in this industry. If you “bought” the product more recently than eight years ago, much less five years ago, you already were purchasing something that was no longer current. And you certainly could not have purchased it from Adobe.
    (4)     I am sorry to read that your “computer died.” Was that computer nine years old? To be consistent with your expectations of Adobe, hopefully you expected your computer's manufacturer to continue to support that computer with a free or reduced cost repairs and/or replacement because you spent so much money on that computer. And of course you expected that new computer would run the exact same OS as your dead computer and support all your old peripherals including SCSI drives, diskettes, etc.
    (5)     Whether you or even I like it or not, the subscription model better reflects the reality of development, distribution, and support of software. Under the previous “perpetual license” scheme, you paid for a license to use the software for perpetuity on the hardware and software (i.e., OS) platforms for which it was developed and tested, nothing more. Unfortunately, the expectations of many of our customers was that somehow Adobe would provide free updates to their current program versions to provide support for future incompatible hardware and operating system platforms. However, that is a totally untenable business model. In contrast, many high end software applications (not graphic arts applications) not only charge for a license, but have a requirement for payment of either a monthly or annual maintenance contract which cover most such hardware/OS upwards incompatibility contingencies. The subscription model currently in-place basically eliminates the up-front licensing and a maintenance contract with a simple monthly fee that provides access to all updates and upgrades. It is fairly clear and simple.
    (6)     In terms of your costs over time, you didn't indicate which aspects of “CS2 suite” you were using, but given your apparent emphasis on image editing, Adobe does offer a very attractive subscription that includes both Lightroom and Photoshop.  Even if you don't use Lightroom at all, it is still a great price even just for Photoshop.

  • HELP ASAP!! PSE5 "elements user name organization or serial number is missing or invalid.  thsi application cannot continue and must now exit

    HELP!!!!  I am a graphic designer I LOVE my version of Photoshop elements 5... I am also a Mom of two who depends on my party supply business as my only income currently!!!! 
    Upon opening to work on a party supply order DUE TODAY for a kid's first birthday I got this ERROR MESSAGE:
    "Your adobe photoshop elements user name organization or serial number is missing or invalid.  This application cannot continue and must now exit"  And then closes.....
    I don't know where my disc is to uninstall/reinstall since I got this program Oh say 10 years ago....  WHAT DO I DO!!?  I am in complete PANIC mode!
    Anyone?! Chat said they couldn't help me it's too old?!?!  HELP

    Hello ...Mom,
    here you will find (if stored at Adobe) "General infos about your Adobe Account" https://www.adobe.com/account.html. To see what Adobe has saved about your serial number, please have a look there: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
    On the other hand you could use a non Adobe program, like
    Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit, for software, hardware and security configuration information on your computer.…
    If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.
    Good luck!

  • Custom report: Machine Name Not Match Serial Number

    What criteria would I use for a custom report that would show computers
    with Machine Names not matching Serial Numbers?

    > What criteria would I use for a custom report that would show computers
    > with Machine Names not matching Serial Numbers?
    Don't really see an easy way to do that. You don't get an option to say
    machine name not= to serial number or visa versa. The only thing I can
    see to do is create a basic workstation report and display machine name
    and serial number and do a side by side comparison.

  • I have downloaded Photoshop elements 5.0 to a new PC.  I recieve error message: "Your Adobe Photoshop Elements user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue and must now exit."

    I was referred here by customer service.  I have downloaded Photoshop elements 5.0 to a new PC.  After accepting the agreement I receive an error message saying  "Your Adobe Photoshop Elements user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue and must now exit."  There is no place to enter the serial number.

    All your pictures will remain safe even after uninstalling the program. Your pictures are saved to your system in form of catalog present at C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\<your catalog><br />When you reinstall the program you can open this catalog and view all your photos again.

  • User name, organization, or serial number is missing or corrupt.  FIX

    Regardless of how this is happening--or why----it IS happening every time I try to run Adobe Photoshop elements 4.0. I purchased the program back in October, 2005 and have never been able to use it for more than a day or two. Without fail, I will open the program and get the message: Your Adobe Photoshop elements user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue and MUST now exit. And, believe me, it EXITS immediately! In the past I have only been able to completely uninstall the program and then reinstall it---until the point where the program no longer appeared in the ADD/REMOVE programs of the control panel--although it was installed but not working. Apparently, registry cleaners can be the culprit, but I did a complete "CLEAN" install of Windows XP Professional/SP2 and started from scratch with ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER PROGRAMS INSTALLED EXCEPT ELEMENTS 4.0. The program worked for all of one day before I, again, got the error and could no longer use the program. Therefore, I can NOT blame registry cleaners alone. There is something inherent in Windows XP that causes this problem. Through this forum I was able to identify the exact registry key causing the problem:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{EBB7C1C1-D439-4D9B -9FDC-954C10F266B0}
    I was able to go to "regedit" (without the quotes) from the "run" menu and find this key (when the program was working). Highlight the key by clicking once on it and then go up to "file". Next, click "export" and save this key to notepad, Word or my documents---any place you know you can find it. I named it Adobe reg key.reg. The next time the program stops working, go to regedit---then to "file" and then "import". After clicking "import", find where you saved the key and click on it. This should import the key directly back into the registry where it belongs and the program should start working again. So far this has worked for me at least 5 times. There must be some fix for this-----from Adobe----soon. With this key exposed, what's to stop anyone from downloading the trial version, and then writing this key into the registry themselves. It's basically called a "crack" and could be used by anyone seeking to avoid paying for the program---SO----Adobe really needs to address this issue. I am totally against anyone stealing software in any way, shape or form, and I think this is what will happen unless Adobe gets a handle on this issue.

    Let me get this straight: Every time your PE4 stops working you have to do a registry edit to get it to work again? That's insane!!!
    I can sympathize with you, I've suddenly had similar problems with PE3 and have gotten little help from Adobe other than to be pointed to countless forum threads which do not answer the questions or solve the problem. Strangely it worked for several months before crashing and refusing to work again, not even able to re-install it.
    I was pointed to your thread because I was told it was probably my registry cleaner that caused my problem with PE3, obviously they didn'r really read your post.
    thanks, and good luck. I've gone back to PE2, at least it works and lets me get on with my workflow, which was being severely hampered by having to spend all my time searching for answers that don't seem to exist.

  • User Name, Organization, or serial Number not valid

    I have windows 8
    I own 4 disc Creative Suites 2.0
    I installed the program.
    All programs open but Photoshop.
    I get the Error: "Your Adobe Photoshop user name, organizaiton, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue and must now exit."
    I uninstalled it.
    Installed the online free version.
    Same error.
    Uninstalled that, and reinstalled my version.
    Looked for the the database file expressed in solution 4 of the following web page
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/startup-error-photoshop-cs2-mac.html
    Can't find the file they are talking about.
    Need some help. Don't want to upgrade. Paid a lot of money for this version and I know it inside and out.
    Just want to use it only.
    Thanks for any help.
    It worked a week ago by the way... Not sure what has happened for this to start up....
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    I found the fix:
    Uninstall all versions of Adobe cs2
    When prompted for the install location you need to know what the "Updated Syste" is calling your install directory.
    Most of the time it is:       PROGRA~2
    So you need to change your install location to : 
    c:\PROGRA~2\Adobe
    Then go through the rest of the install as normal and BAM! Photoshop will work without anymore errors.
    Thanks to this article I was able to figure it out:

    If only the people at Adobe help centers were this educated....
    I like to buy software and use it. NOT keep buying software updates and upgrades. Especially when the software is between 600 and 1000 dollars. For those prices it should ALWAYS work.

  • Install CS4 web premium on a new computer without "old product/serial number" that I need to validate this copy?

    I am trying to install CS4 web premium on a new computer and have the serial number/date of purchase for this product, but at the start of installation it wants an old product previously installed and what that serial number is.  There's a chance it's on some old computer in a box, but I haven't seen / used a product besides CS4 in years (purchased in 2011) and don't know how I can put it on this new computer & get back to using it without knowing this mystery serial number? Thanks for your help & suggestions

    It appears you purchased an upgrade version of CS4 and if so you are required to prove that you qualify for using it.  This means you need to identify the old version and its serial number - no way around that.  You will need to find that mystery version information.  If you check your Adobe account online you might find it.
