New Computer Provisioning (naming computers)

@cbrewer That's a cool script you wrote. Problem is under pre-stage enrollment I don' t see where I can add a script. Forgive me if I'm being a little dense, but how can I get that script to run during pre-stage enrollment process and how can I scope it if the device hasn't been enrolled? As part of the pre-stage enrollment I have it specified in settings to bind using <name of group>-$SERIALNUMBER, if I can get the script to run during the pre-stage enrollment I could bind it using the computer name I set in the dialog box.

You need to use a policy in Jamf Pro and have the trigger set to enrollment. Policies set to enrollment trigger run right after enrollment is complete.

@cbrewer Thanks again for the quick responses as I'm juggling multiple IT tasks :)

What would I scope the policy to? and if it runs after enrollment, wouldn't the AD binding be complete by that point?

I'd scope the policy to just the machine(s) you are testing with to start. As for AD binding, you'd probably want to take it out of your pre-stage settings and do the AD binding as part of the naming script using dsconfigad or the jamf binary.

Here is what is working for me:

1 - Configured a config profile with my AD Bind settings
2 - Set up a policy with a script to name the Macs using desired naming conventions
3 - Scope the policy to a smart group based on the serial numbers of the Macs I want to name ( or just all Macs )
4 - Scope the AD Bind Config profile to a smart group of Macs with the names "Like" the desired Macs.

This allows me to be sure that the binding config profile doesn't even try to bind until the Mac is named correctly, which can then use the $COMPUTERNAME as the Client ID.

If you have any kind of database of serial to name, create a web API or even just a file share and have machines pull their data during enrollment and then name themselves, obviously you would be using a script for this.
Also I know JAMF were working on importable CSV format serial to name files for pre-enrollment, has this been implemented yet?
