Management of files becomes easier if they are named sensibly. Hexnode lets admins to rename files on multiple devices simultaneously using scripts.
Disclaimer:
The Sample Scripts provided below are adapted from third-party Open-Source sites.
Batch Script
|
1 2 |
cd location_of_the_file ren oldname newname |
E.g., To rename the file test.txt in the Desktop of the user Deborah to testing.txt,
cd C:\Users\Deborah\Desktop
ren test.txt testing.txt
Powershell Script
|
1 |
rename-item "current_filename_with_path.ext" "new_filename_with_path.ext" |
E.g., To rename the file test.txt in the Desktop of the user Deborah to testing.txt,
rename-item “C:\Users\Deborah\Desktop\test.txt” “C:\Users\Deborah\Desktop\testing.txt”
Notes:
- Use quotes if the name has a space in between.
- It is recommended to manually validate the script execution on a system before executing the action in bulk.
- Hexnode will not be responsible for any damage/loss to the system on the behavior of the script.
