 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.

 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.
