Rename Windows Devices in ZENworks Control Center

Keng

Status: Under Consideration

This idea was taken up, but has considerable security challenges, with respect to updating the device name in Active Directory. Thus, changing the status back to 'Under Consideration' as this couldn't make it to upcoming release - ZENworks 2020 Update 3.

Powershell 3.0 and newer has the "Rename-Computer" cmdlet to rename the computer along with the corresponding AD object. Scheduling this as a powershell one-liner in the "Run Script" quick task with ZCM should do what you are asking for. See technet.microsoft.com/.../hh849792(v=wps.620).aspx for details on Rename-Computer.

If you make this possible, it should rename the AD-object with the workstation name too. Otherwise it would kick the worksation out of the AD, without deleting the object for it.
