How do you standardize custom computer names?

Hello, everybody.
I‘d like to ask a question.
How to standardize custom computer names?
For example,CMD can get zhe serialnumber of a device from acommand.（command line: wmic bios get serialnumber）
How would you use the results returned by CMD to define the computer's name.
Is there a way to implement this?

Under Unattended mode, NTLite allows you use the regular expression "%SERIAL%" in the <ComputerName>.



The other way is to write a custom script (batch, PS, etc.) which checks the Serial Number, and changes the hostname. A system restart is required before the new hostname takes effect.

But this is inconvenient, since a planned reboot during Post-Setup (Machine) will stop it from running further post-setup actions.

Thank you very much
