Hello,
I need to rename the computers using the Full Name that is set in User and Location.
I have a script that renames using the login user but the name I need is the Full Name in Jamf.

Any idea how to retrieve the Full Name ?

thanks for your help.

Thats not recommended... as that is broadcast information, same as not using a serial number.

If you really want to do it you could use the API to retrieve that info. :-)


Not the cleanest script but anyway:


#!/bin/zsh
# Bearer token for API user
# server and credential information
jamfProURL="jamfurl"
username="apiuser"
password="apipassword"
# request auth token
authToken=$( /usr/bin/curl \\
--request POST \\
--silent \\
--url "$jamfProURL/api/v1/auth/token" \\
--user "$username:$password" )
# parse auth token
token=$( /usr/bin/plutil \\
-extract token raw - <<< "$authToken" )
tokenExpiration=$( /usr/bin/plutil \\
-extract expires raw - <<< "$authToken" )
localTokenExpirationEpoch=$( TZ=GMT /bin/date -j \\
-f "%Y-%m-%dT%T" "$tokenExpiration" \\
+"%s" 2> /dev/null )
echo "Got bearer token successfully."
# Script for name chamging.
# Get serial number.
serial=$(system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | awk '/Serial/ {print $4}')
# Get user info from Jamf via API.
response=$(curl -k $jamfProURL/JSSResource/computers/serialnumber/$serial/subset/location --header "Authorization: Bearer $token")
# Get the Real Name.
real_name=$(echo $response | /usr/bin/awk -F'<real_name>|</real_name>' '{print $2}');
echo Real name is $real_name.
# Shorten real name for hostname.
host_name=$(echo $real_name | awk '{gsub(" ","-"); print}')
# Run commands to change name.
scutil --set ComputerName "Mac van $real_name"
scutil --set HostName "$host_name"
scutil --set LocalHostName "Lab9-Pro-$host_name"
echo "Name is successfully changed."
# Expire bearer token for API user
/usr/bin/curl \\
--header "Authorization: Bearer $token" \\
--request POST \\
--silent \\
--url "$jamfProURL/api/v1/auth/invalidate-token"
echo "Invalidated bearer token successfully."
exit

How to collect user information and apply it throughout Jamf Pro

I will second @jamf-42 , you don't want to go broadcasting PII (Personally Identifiable Information). A hostname is visible to anyone on the same network as the device, and can be seen in many other ways OTA.

If you really want to do it you could use the API to retrieve that info. :-)

thank you very much, it works perfectly
