Hi All, have client that has over 200 devices in SH  
I would like to update in bulk their Computer Initial Names to a new format to make it easier to identify primary users  
Client has list in spread sheet of all computer devices (Windows Host Name) and primary users assigned already which they maintain regularly  
Is there a way to script the change of SH Computer name from a field/column in Spreadsheet so we can tie the Computer name and their primary user together to make it more descriptive at first glance in SH for our techs?
