Prompt to Rename Computer During Task Sequence via Powershell

Here is my powershell script to prompt to rename computer during SCCM OSD Task Sequence.

It will first auto popular machine name according to serial number, and then ask user to rename computer. If user do not do anything, the pop out window will auto close within 30 seconds.
