So when enrolling a mac, I would like it to be automatically named based on which country it is enrolled in



So Mac should first lookup like



curl https://freegeoip.app/xml/



and based on country code the mac should be named like "US-%serialnumber%



Serial number can be found
serialNumber=$( ioreg -c IOPlatformExpertDevice -d 2 | awk -F" '/IOPlatformSerialNumber/{print $(NF-1)}' )



I am not very good scripting, so hope someone can have some input how this could be done

Interesting - But my script knowledge not that good. Maybe someone else inhere can help, would also be interested in this setup

Anyone ?

@jameson Give this a shot.



#!/bin/sh



getCountryCode=$(curl https://freegeoip.app/xml/ | xpath /Response/CountryCode)

countryCode=$(echo $getCountryCode | sed 's/<CountryCode>//g' | sed 's/</CountryCode>/'$'

/g')



echo $countryCode



serialNumber=$( ioreg -c IOPlatformExpertDevice -d 2 | awk -F" '/IOPlatformSerialNumber/{print $(NF-1)}' )



computerName=$countryCode-$serialNumber



echo $computerName



networksetup -setcomputername "$computerName"

scutil --set LocalHostName "$computerName"

scutil --set HostName "$computerName"

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server NetBIOSName "$computerName"
