Script to set computer name and IP based on serial number

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

I have a group of 400 Macs I take care of and I am trying to automate the naming and setting up the static ip based on the SN of the system with a first run script. Here is a small sample of the script but it is giving me an end of file error when I try and run it. Any ideas?

#!/bin/sh
serial=/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | /usr/bin/awk '/Serial\ Number\ \(system\)/ {print $NF}'

if test “$serial” == “C07M802Z4E825DY3J”
then

scutil --set ComputerName “qa-mac-1”

scutil --set LocalHostName “qa-mac-1”

networksetup -setproxyautodiscovery “Ethernet” on

networksetup -setmanual Ethernet 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.128 10.1.1.129

networksetup -setdnsservers Ethernet 10.2.76.98 10.2.76.97

networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet mycompany.com mycompanycorp.com us.mycompany.com

else

if test “$serial” == “C07M803JDLSY3J”
then

scutil --set ComputerName “qa-mac-2”

scutil --set LocalHostName “qa-mac-2”

networksetup -setproxyautodiscovery “Ethernet” on

networksetup -setmanual Ethernet 10.1.1.2 255.255.255.128 10.1.1.129

networksetup -setdnsservers Ethernet 10.2.76.98 10.2.76.97

networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet mycompany.com mycompanycorp.com us.mycompany.com

if test “$serial” == “C0737951JDLSY3J”
then

scutil --set ComputerName “qa-mac-3”

scutil --set LocalHostName “qa-mac-3”

networksetup -setproxyautodiscovery “Ethernet” on

networksetup -setmanual Ethernet 10.1.1.2 255.255.255.128 10.1.1.129

networksetup -setdnsservers Ethernet 10.2.76.98 10.2.76.97

networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet mycompany.com mycompanycorp.com us.mycompany.com

Hi. The most glaring issue is that the code sample is written for the Terminal. AppleScript shell calls use the syntax 'do shell script ’ and then the command(s). To escape a special character—such as parentheses—you would use double backslashes, but the Awk portion can be simplified instead. With 400 items, you really need to iterate a list, rather than nest that many if considerations in the editor.

set serialList to {"C07M802Z4E825DY3J", "C07M803JDLSY3J"} --populate in order with the respective serial numbers
set serial to do shell script "system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | Awk '/Serial Number/ {print $NF}'  "
repeat with counter from 1 to 2 --400, once the above list is populated
	tell serial to if it = serialList's item counter then
		do shell script ("scutil --set ComputerName " & ("qa-mac-" & counter)'s quoted form & " ; scutil --set LocalHostName " & ("qa-mac-" & counter)'s quoted form & " ; networksetup -setproxyautodiscovery Ethernet on ; networksetup -setmanual Ethernet 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.128 10.1.1.129 ; networksetup -setdnsservers Ethernet 10.2.76.98 10.2.76.97 ; networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet mycompany.com mycompanycorp.com us.mycompany.com ")
		exit repeat
	end if
end repeat
