This does NOT function properly. I replaced this: new="carat" ## Provide the name you want to rename your computer with this: new="ST_030" ## Provide the name you want to rename your computer and ran the procedure. Log shows the following: Success: the Computer has been renamed as "ComputerNoSpaceName" from the old name "DESKTOP-CEPEJUV"
