This might help a bit... http://mytoolsandstuff.tripod.com/wsname.html Not from the resource kit, but similar I'd think..

WSH would allow you to read in a text file which held a list of your machines and then you could iterate over each entry and run the WMI object methods to rename the machines... checkout the Microsoft Script Center.. which has the answer to most probs alread coded... cheers, Brianos -----Original Message----- From: Ibrahim Abdi, Mustafa [mailto:Mustafa.Ibrahim.Abdi@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 08 September 2003 15:50 To: 'windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [windows2000] Renaming multiple machines Hi all, Does anyone know of a resource kit script or anything else I can use to rename multiple Win2000 Pro machines?.
