Computer name would be Deptname + serial number

[ChandanOmkar]

Hi,

 

I have a data base with only table which has two columns - 1. Department name 2. Serial number.

 

Department name consists of the department name and seria number column consists of the serial number of the machine of particular department.

 

I want to add a script in task sequence of SCCM which will get the serial number of the machine during OS deployment and after getting the serial number it will check the database for the serial number and if the serial number founds in the DB then it will pick the Department name of the computer and assign the computer name in following format :

 

DepartmentName+Serial number, for example - Accounts0987654

 

How to achieve this. Any help would be appreciated.
