I learned something new today. I have been using the shutdown command for years. I never realized you could rename a PC with it.

shutdown doesn't do the renaming, you just have to reboot after you rename.

I use "m" instead of c for computer name

/c is the comment for the logs to tell them that you just "Renamed Machine", it doesn't rename it, it literally puts "Renamed Machine" into the reboot logs.

Ok. Got ya.
