Hello Expert,
I need to rename a computer that is hybrid autopilot device using script deployment but current I am using account credential for this in script. like below
$password = ConvertTo-SecureString "Password" -AsPlainText -Force
$Cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ("abc\admin", $password)
Rename-Computer -ComputerName "localhost" -NewName $newname -DomainCredential $Cred -Force
is there any way to use domain user account as variable in script so I don't need to provide password in script. any way intune...otherwise I will look on scripting view to change it .
Thank
rich
Hi Richkm,
Note1: Directly using a domain user account as a variable in your script without specifying the password is not directly supported. Note2: directly using a user’s domain credentials in a script can be risky due to security concerns.
To Rename a device in Intune: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/remote-actions/device-rename. Note: If a device isn't listed here, it's not supported. This feature doesn't support renaming hybrid Microsoft Entra Windows devices.
