When entering the following, script, I get an error. The error message indicates that the script is adding a "$" character to the device name, and I can't figure out why.

This script has been tested verbatim, working, as a locally-run script.. It will not work when pushed through Pulseway's Powershell automation. (generic PREFIX- inserted for relative anonymity)

Screesnshots of Pulseway script Syntax attached, as well as identical, locally run syntax.

$name = $env:UserName
$oldName = $env:ComputerName
$newPCName = "PREFIX-" + $name
Rename-Computer -ComputerName $oldName -NewName $newPCName

The error message viewed through Pulseway:

The new computer name entered is not properly formatted. Standard names may contain letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9),
and hyphens (-), but no spaces or periods (.). The name may not consist entirely of digits, and may not be longer than

When you run scripts through Pulseway they run as the local SYSTEM user which is the computer name with a dollar sign at the end. You could use a WMI query to get the username instead like this:

But make sure that you account for the case when there's no user logged into the system.
