In this post, you will learn to FIX SCCM Task sequence failed with error code 0x80220005. The task sequence error prompt during operating system deployment with Configuration Manager when it’s failed to execute step added to rename the device. The error 0x80220005 Translate SCCM Error Codes to Error Messages No result in CMTrace Error lookup.
This task sequence failed with error code 0x80220005 often seen when automating the computer name by defining variables inside the task sequence, scripts, or prompting the wizard to specify the computer name to users at the time of deployment, and the computer exceeds the 15 characters limit. In case you’re auto-generating the computer name, You may experience deployment failure in the virtual machines as the serial number of the VM is too long.
Let’s learn how to display SCCM OSD Computer Name Prompt in Task Sequence Deployment. To change the computer name in the new OS, we will use the OSDComputerName variable during deployment SCCM OSD Computer Name Prompt In Task Sequence Deployment ConfigMgr

Let’s check the solution to fix this task sequence error code 0x80220005 –
When renaming a device, the new name must be 15 characters or less. If you’re taking inputs from the user, Make sure the computer name does not exceed the characters limit. Based on the above scenario, we asked the user to appropriate the device name and perform the deployment. If you had automated with scripts, do some modification, especially if you defined the serial number and prefix.

Hi I am issues setting the Syntax for variable osdcomputername within the SCCM task sequence .
My laptop test works fine but I am having issues with the syntax for VM
For laptop I am using
W-L-%serialnumberer%
For the VM its w-vm-%serialnumber%
Pls advise
Hi, The VM serial number exceeds 15 Characters. Ensure you trimmed the serial number for using inside Virtual machines during the deployment and check your experience.
How can you trim the @serialnumber% variable to only use the first or last 7 characters of the serial number? This way it stays within the 15 character limit?
Hi guys, we use %SITE%-%DEVICE%-%SERIALNUMBER% and I have checked that we have the gather step before the OSDComputerName variable. The output for this particular device is 13 characters only yet we are getting the same exact error.
The computer name output if the OSD was successful should be like this DOT-L-xxxxxxx. Here are the error logs, any advised please?
