I there any smart way to prevent users from renaming the computer. They are local admins on the mac´s

I can see some use login window payload, but I then also change the login experience on the computer and only want to disable the renaming option

Anyone has some ideas`?

I block the sharing menu with a config profile, that prevents the easy way of renaming. As far as going into terminal and renaming, I'm not sure that you can.

@jwojda Is it the login window payload you use ?

You can also use the "Reset Computername" function under "Maintenance" to reset the Computername daily for example.

For profile management of this, use the Restrictions Payload and block the Sharing pref pane
