Need ability to rename Windows Devices in ZENworks Control Center without physically visiting the workstation. Useful especially IT Admins would like to standardize Workstation Naming without be onsite.

Comments

  • 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.

  • 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.
