the script to automatically name the computers test1, test2, test3, etc

Automatically based off what?
Just want to rename them based off a list?

You could use NETDOM and integrate this line into a script.. perhaps with a
loop reading a file of current domain computernames and then looping through
a count and adding to the end of the new name so you get TEST###...

netdom renamecomputer OLDCOMPNAME /newname:NEWCOMPNAME
/userD:DOMAIN\DOMAIN_ADMIN_USERNAME /passwordD:DOMAIN_PASSWORD
/userO:DOMAIN\DOMAIN_ADMIN_USERNAME /passwordO:DOMAIN_PASSWORD /force
/reboot:COUNTDOWNTIMEHERE

All one line above. ALL CAPS represents things you would enter.
