Batch file to Rename computer with last 3 of IP

[Unigeek]

Hi,
I have not written a batch file in over 15 years. I need to run one to 150 windows 7 Ent stations on a domain that will change the computer name from "2358-Servicetag".ourdoman.com to "2358-last three of the IP address" I tried the Netdom command and I'm not successful at all.
Thanks

Easily done with Powershell:

And what happens when the IP changes if the switch or DHCP gets reset? Or PC is moved? Don't think I have seen a naming convention that uses an IP address before.

They are DHCP reserved, if the PC's are changed at a later date, we assign a different IP. The range I have is for my labs only.

Right.
Rather than trying to put intelligence into the computer name, do it in a database.
IP address, PC name, location.

That's what I would do, anyway.

But, if it must be done as you request, the powershell links above will do the trick.
