I use a Policy that runs the script below to name our MacBooks to the machine's S/N that runs after enrollment and lately it stopped working. It might be since Ventura came out or one of the revision, but I cannot confirm. I can run the commands manually so they commands haven't changed. Any suggestions would be great.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Get the Serial Number of the Machine sn=$(system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | awk '/Serial/ {print $4}')
# Set the ComputerName, HostName and LocalHostName scutil --set ComputerName $sn scutil --set HostName $sn scutil --set LocalHostName $sn

I can't say why the above would not be working. It could be a timing thing. With computer rename scripts, sometimes if they kick in too quickly they don't take effect and/or the original name sticks around, making it look like the command failed. it may also be that you have to clear the cache after doing the rename. I run this command in my script right after naming the computer.
/usr/bin/dscacheutil -flushcache
Also, you can try using the jamf binary itself to do the renaming, which may yield better results.
