If you have MDT integrated then you can leverage the gather function and set it in the TS. The other option that I know of using a VB or PS script to set the name.

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

Agree with @Rahul Jindal [MVP] . Yes, we are able to rename computer name with serial number. Just do a "Set Dynamic Variables" step and set the OSDComputerName to something like "Prefix%_SMSTSSerialNumber%". Do it before you do the "Apply Windows Settings" step. Refer to:

Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!

Best regards,

Simon
