# This script is for use with JAMF Casper Suite and makes some assumptions about
# the context in which it is running, specifically that arguments are served by
# the JSS and that arguments 1 through 3 are predefined as mount point, computer
# name, and username, respectively.
# 
# It will change the ComputerName, LocalHostName, and HostName of a Macintosh
# computer to be a valid and unique name for the purposes of binding to Active
# Directory.  It will then trigger the appropriate jamf policy event.
# 

# let's set some variables
TOKEN=""  # api token from user with api access.

JAMFEVENT="bindactivedirectory"  # this is a custom event that gets called after the renaming process
