[Casper] Computer Name

[Thomas Larkin]

There are three ways from the command line to change the computer name: 

scutil which has already been mentioned 

in 10.5 you can use the networksetup command 

and of course if you are running Casper 

jamf setComputerName

What would these equivalent commands for a 10.3.9 system to change host
name & local host name? I’ve been trying to find those.

Thanks,

I won’t be lazy I guess. The command line method is using the scutil
command.

Sudo scutil —set LocalHostName <name>
Sudo scutil —set HostName <name>

Should update them both.

You could perform these on the Run Command line option on the advanced
tab of a Casper Remote or Policy. I forget the character to place in
between multiple commands there don’t do that normally.

Looks like Chad beat me to it...

I can't recall this, but isn't there a way to change a computer name
remotely?  I looked in the documentation and I can't seem to locate this
information. Any help is appreciated.
