The Challenge: As part of our deployment process for Macs in an AD environment, technicians are expected to rename the computer using a combination of Preferences panes as well as command line. The steps involved are considerably more tedious than joining AD on a Windows machine.

The Solution: An AppleScript application that accomplishes all of the following:

• Set Computer Name (normally done in Sharing prefs)
• Set Local Host Name (normally done in Sharing prefs)
• Set NetBIOS name (normally done in Network prefs)
• Verify FQHN
• Set system HostName (normally done via Terminal with scutil)
• Bind to AD (normally done through Directory Utility)

The Script (save this as an Application in OS X, then you can double click it to start):

1. The history of macOS, Apple's current Mac operating system originally named Mac OS X until 2012 and then OS X until 2016, began with the company's project to replace its 'classic' Mac OS.That system, up to and including its final release Mac OS 9, was a direct descendant of the operating system Apple had used in its Macintosh computers since their introduction in 1984.
2. There's an app (in the Mac App Store) that lets you name Spaces via the menubar. It also lets you give each Space a unique icon, and tells you how you spend time across your Spaces (and the apps within them). Because macOS APIs are limited, the names stay in the app and don't show up in Mission Control. But they are persistent.

Etresoft, I don't think it will take only 28 years to reach Mac OS 30. There's no way to tell the amount of years for sure, but if they keep the pattern of getting to.9 then going up 1 that's 193 to go. (including 10.7 Lion).
