How to force the computer restart requirement via script ?

[se2946]

When the user changes the "computer name", the system requires "restart
computer".
And the exclamation icon appear onthe system's property window.

Does anybody know how to make a same situation programmatically ?
Is the setting in registry ?
(The exclamation icon is needed.)

I'm coding a script by vbs.
Thank you for help.

Use shutdown.exe for a very simple solution.
Use Win32Shutdown if you prefer a complex approach.
Set objWMIService =
GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Shutdown)}\\.\root\cimv2")
Set colOs = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")
For Each objOs in colOs
objOs.Win32Shutdown(x)
Next

Try
wmic.exe ComputerSystem Where Name="%ComputerName%" Rename
Name="NewComputerName"

or

wmic:root\cli> COMPUTERSYSTEM where "Name='COMPNAME'" CALL Rename NEWNAME,
