    How to use this when the name of the computer is the serial number?

      So i'd like to use this script but the name of the computer will always be different and i have another script that pulls the name from the service tag.  That is this script:

' Rename the computer
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & "." & "\root\cimv2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT SerialNumber FROM Win32_BIOS")
For Each objItem In colItems
      strSerial = objItem.SerialNumber
Next

Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
strComputerName = objNetwork.ComputerName
strResponse = "KHO" & strSerial
If UCase(strResponse) <> UCase(strComputerName) Then
	Set colComputers = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select Name from Win32_ComputerSystem")
	For Each objComputer in colComputers
		intErrorCode = objComputer.Rename(UCase(strResponse), strPassword, strDomain & "\" & strUser)
		If intErrorCode <> 0 Then
			WScript.Echo "Error renaming computer to " & strResponse & ". Error # " & intErrorCode
		Else
			WScript.Echo "Computer renamed"
		End If
	Next
End If 

once the computer is renamed how can i make the "Add a user to local group" script reference the new name or take the current name of the computer?
