When creating a new license file via the web licensing portal, users are asked to input the Host Name and Host ID of the computer being licensed. I hope this helps someone! Everyone at Jamf Nation has always helped me when I need it so I'm happy to help when ever I can.THIS INFORMATION ONLY PERTAINS TO SOFTWARE VERSIONS IDL 8.5, ENVI 5.3 AND PRIOR If you reverse the a-z function and make it '' it will change all caps to lowercase. I did some research and found the translate characters command (tr) and it has the ability to do this. I was trying to get awk to convert the characters in the first and last name to all caps but I couldn't find a good way. #Clear the directory service cache then run a current inventory to send the new Mac name to Jamf Pro
LastNameCAP=$(echo $lastName | tr '' '')ĬomputerName=$firstNameCAP-$lastNameCAP-$serialNumber #Convert firstName and lastName to all capsįirstNameCAP=$(echo $firstName | tr '' '') Before using this script, replace "XX" in line 12 with the client company's initialsĬurrentUser=`/bin/ls -l /dev/console | /usr/bin/awk '') #Rename the Mac using the first and last initial of the user's name. There were only a few so it wasn't a bit deal. There were some users with the same initials, so we dealt with those manually. This script was useful when I needed to mass rename a lot of Macs.
It appears to run at some point either before or after DEPNotify is finished. I have this script run as the first policy that runs at check-in after the user account is setup and the desktop appears. We would just go into the policy containing the script and set the company initials in the field provided. When ever I get around to it, I will make a version of the script that will allow us to define a variable for the first part of the script for the company so we don't have to manually modify this script every time it's added to a Jamf Pro server. I did not want to have to manually rename Macs every time one is enrolled, so I wrote this script with some help from other Jamf Nation members. For my clients I use a naming scheme that uses the company's initials, "M" for Mac, and then the user's first and last initials.
