      @dafyre thanks for helping out there, it was almost there the sudo -S bit was all it needed, but for some odd flipping reason it recommends using -U flag as well which is weird.

      But at least it works, now to fold this into the larger script and see how it all works.

        I'll be over here in the corner with my hard hat on, watching for nuclear fallout, lol.

        Glad you got it going!

              I'm of course just kidding, lord knows I'd actually get dragged to court with a disclaimer like this. . .

              Time to find the GNU license and insert that. . .

                I'm glad you found a solution, but have you considered ansible for tasks like this?

                  Have you consider our lord and savor jesus christ?

                  FFS man...

                  Of course I have I just don't understand it as all of their documentation is god awful and I'd have to take numerous pounds of coke up the backdoor to understand what the hell I'm supposed to do.

                  On a positive note, if you want to jump on a skype call some time or another I'd be happy to learn if you're willing to teach.

                    I don't know what you're on. It's some of the better documentation. I'd be interested to see what specific parts you are referencing.

                      Specifically using it to administrator Apple OSX laptops and workstations is what I'm particularly interested in. We have very few linux systems here that would require automation on any scale.

                        Like 85-90% of this office is OSX, so anything to help reduce that overhead would be great. I've even posted here about looking at all of these automation tools and which was best and it turned into a this one is cool, but it doesn't do that one thing you absolutely need.

                          PS I learn from seeing and doing, rather than reading. Just as an FYI.

                              So I admittedly don't know anything about Macs because I don't care to, but here is a simple way to do this with Ansible.

                              ---
                              - name: Set crap with scutil
                                hosts: macs
                                become: true
                                user: dustin
                                vars:
                                  -computername: "this_computer_sucks"
                              
                                tasks:
                                  - name: set computername
                                    shell: "scutil --set ComputerName {{ computername }}"
                              
                                  - name: set hostname
                                    shell: "scutil --set HostName {{ computername }}"
                              
                                  - name: set localhostname
                                    shell: "scutil --set LocalHostName {{ computername }}"
                              

                              If spacing is off, I'm on my phone so suck it up.

                                @stacksofplates so that seems simple enough, how do you put in the custom details like I am pushing to these 1 by 1?

                                the office location, the expected user and the asset tag to create a single -computername ?

                                Also since we're on it, how do you use tools like brew.sh to install and update third party software?

                                  Chill out man. The whole point of being in IT community is to learn new things. There's always more than one way to skin a cat, it's not horrible knowing there are other options.

                                  Ansible really isn't that difficult and you'll save a ton of time in the long run.

                                    @IRJ I'm salty because I've brought automation tools like Anisble, chef, puppet and salt up before and the only responses have been minimal at best.

                                    Can we have an in-depth this is how to get started conversation?

                                      To answer this question, you need to edit ansible hosts file. You would add the IPs to the group. You can be as granular as you want

                                          become: true
                                          user: dustin
                                          vars:
                                            -computername: "this_computer_sucks"
                                        
                                          tasks:
                                            - name: set computername
                                              shell: "scutil --set ComputerName {{ computername }}"
                                        
                                            - name: set hostname
                                              shell: "scutil --set HostName {{ computername }}"

                                        @DustinB3403 , he assumed you had a group named macs on this playbook.You can change that under hosts

                                            @IRJ Using an specific IP wouldn't work I'd have to use dhcp scopes and filter out Windows PCs from that.

                                            add hostnames?
