Hi Rajiv IR,
I have run the below script to save my password.bin to my $path\password.bin：
$path="\\sc\cont" [Byte[]] $key = (1..32) $AESPwd256 = '123.com' | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force $AESPwd256 | ConvertFrom-SecureString -key $key | Out-File $path\password.bin
And the run the below script on my clients：
# $number = Computer Serial_NO.last 7 bits # $path = One shared folder in my site server $newname="CN-D"+$number $oldname=(Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_ComputerSystem).Name $user="sc\joindomain" [Byte[]] $key = (1..32) $password = Get-Content $path\password.bin | ConvertTo-SecureString -key $key if($oldname -ne $newname){ (Get-WmiObject win32_computersystem).Rename( $newname,$password,$user) }When testing manually on the client side, there are the following tips
I've tried to restart and re-join domain，but it's not helpful.Do you have any ideas?

Hi jrv,
So sorry.
Please forgive my poor English.
So sometimes I need the help of Google tool bar.
Obviously, it just translated my post into Chinese automatically.
Could you speak Chinese? I saw you write Chinese above?
