Matching AD Computer ID to Local Computer Name

[yurypanasyuk]

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how I can rename the local computer names (ComputerName, LocalHostName, and HostName) to the current Computer ID currently set by AD bind on machine using bash or AppleScript.

Untested, but this should do the trick. Note that the name in AD has a trailing $ .

#!/bin/bash
ad_name=$(/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Print ":General Info:Computer Account"' /dev/stdin <<< $(/usr/sbin/dsconfigad -show -xml))
/usr/local/jamf/bin/jamf setComputerName -name ${ad_name}

This should do the trick.

#!/bin/bash
ADCOMPUTERNAME=`dsconfigad -show | grep "Computer Account" | awk '{print $4}' | cut -d '$' -f 1`;
if [ "$ADCOMPUTERNAME" == "" ]; then
    echo "Unable to determine computer name";
    exit 1;
fi

echo "Setting computer name to: $ADCOMPUTERNAME";

/usr/local/bin/jamf setComputerName -name $ADCOMPUTERNAME


exit 0;
