@nsantoro two quick things. First, you may want to re-post that using the "script" tags (the >_ icon above) so that the script is not messed up by formatting.

Second, instead of using system_profiler to get the serial number of the machine, you may want to move over to using ioreg as it is less resource heavy and quicker:

ioreg -l | awk '/IOPlatformSerialNumber/ { print $4;}'

If the reason you're using system_profiler is to avoid the double quotes returned by @nsantoro example you can remove them by piping the output to sed like this.

ioreg -l | awk '/IOPlatformSerialNumber/ { print $4;}' | sed -e 's/^"//' -e 's/"$//'

@stevewood thanks.

thank you @MadPossum & @stevewood
I just made changes to my scripts and it works quicker.

#bin/sh

serial=`ioreg -l | awk '/IOPlatformSerialNumber/ { print $4;}' | sed -e 's/^"//' -e 's/"$//'`

Hey @Nsantoro,
Question for you. Your script refers to this policy in your JSS:

sudo jamf policy -id 482

What is this policy being called doing? Is policy 482 an AD binding/unbinding action you've setup or something?
(I'm looking to use your script here in our environment...it would help me as well..)

Thanks.

@steve.summers the policy call is pointing to another policy that i have in place which is a directory bind policy. Using Jamf Builtin function under options/ Directory Bindings.)

No User Interaction:

1. Rename Computer name to proper naming convention


2. Force Unbinds


3. Calls to a Jamf Policy (mine is 482) - which Binds the Mac to the Domain.

#!/bin/sh

serial=`ioreg -l | awk '/IOPlatformSerialNumber/ { print $4;}' | sed -e 's/^"//' -e 's/"$//'`

/usr/sbin/scutil --set ComputerName "CRP${serial}"

/usr/sbin/scutil --set LocalHostName "CRP${serial}"

/usr/sbin/scutil --set HostName "CRP${serial}"

sudo dsconfigad -force -remove -u YourMacBindingAccount -p YourBindingAccountPassword

sudo jamf policy -id 482

This Script has user interaction.

I made this available to our onsite support techs: to bind Macs to the domain.

#!/bin/sh

serial=`ioreg -l | awk '/IOPlatformSerialNumber/ { print $4;}' | sed -e 's/^"//' -e 's/"$//'``



function machinename () {

    osascript <<EOT

        tell application "Finder"

            activate

            set nameentry to text returned of (display dialog "

            Please name your computer. 

            The naming convention is the 3 letter 

            dept name,

            followed by the serial number.



            Example:

            CRP${base}${serial}



            The serial number for this Mac is:

            ${base}${serial}" default answer "" with icon 2)

            end tell

EOT

}



function renameComputer(){

    echo "The New Computer name is: $ComputerName"

    scutil --set HostName $ComputerName

    scutil --set LocalHostName $ComputerName

    scutil --set ComputerName $ComputerName



    echo Rename Successful

}



ComputerName=$(machinename) 

renameComputer

sudo dsconfigad -force -remove -u YourMacBindingAccount -p BindingAccountPassword

sudo jamf policy -id 482

sudo jamf manage

sudo jamf recon

sudo /usr/local/jamf/bin/jamf displayMessage -message "To Join your Computer to our Corp Domain, please re-start your computer."

exit 0

I tried both commands to get the serial number:
ioreg -l | awk '/IOPlatformSerialNumber/ { print $4;}' | sed -e 's/^"//' -e 's/"$//'
/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | /usr/bin/awk '/Serial Number (system)/ {print $NF}'

My experience is the system_profiler method feels actually quite faster than ioreg.
