you can change comp name through vbscript
Code: [SELECT]strComputer = "."
SET objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colComputers = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select Name from Win32_ComputerSystem")
For Each objComputer in colComputers
ErrCode = objComputer.Rename("mynewcompname", "password", "Administrator")
If ErrCode = 0 Then
WScript.Echo "Computer renamed correctly."
Else
WScript.Echo "Eror changing computer name. ERROR code: " & ErrCode
