I wrote a script to rewrite the computer name. We're using Enterprise Connect, and I have a bash script that's deployed (pkg) to /Library/Scripts/ec, and then gets executed to write the computer name to /tmp/ecUser:

#!/bin/bash

echo $1 > /tmp/ecUser

exit 0;

Here's the script that gets executed, per policy:

#!/bin/bash

if [ ! -f /tmp/ecUser ];

then

    jamfUser=$( echo $3 | sed 's/./-/g' )

    /usr/sbin/scutil --set ComputerName $jamfUser

    /usr/sbin/scutil --set LocalHostName $jamfUser

    /usr/sbin/scutil --set HostName $jamfUser

    echo $jamfUser

else 

    ecUser=$( cat /tmp/ecUser | sed 's/./-/g' )

    /usr/sbin/scutil --set ComputerName $ecUser

    /usr/sbin/scutil --set LocalHostName $ecUser

    /usr/sbin/scutil --set HostName $ecUser

    echo $ecUser

fi 

exit 0;

Here is the result from the policy, in this case the username is coming from /tmp/ecUser, which is matt.marshall, rewritten to be matt-marshall:

Executing Policy e Change Computer Name

Now, everything is working as expected, except that JSS doesn't seem to get updated with the new computer name despite it getting the correct name.

Any ideas what's happening?

Note - reset computer name to Jamf Pro record is not checked.
