Hello I am trying to do some basic CLI Scripting.
${SystemName}
is resulting in <nodename.domain.local>
I just need the nodename and my script should be ok.
I am invoking the script from the config page drop down menu.
${Caption}
Unfortunately I get the same result as ${SystemName}.
Ultimately that depends what the actual values are for that node.
If both ${Caption} and ${SysName} (same as ${SystemName} macro), provide the same value, then you'll probably need to update the Caption of the nodes enabling you to use the ${Caption} macro, removing the dns zone info. I use a script to do that, removing any dns zones and then capitalizing the captions so myswitch.example.local would become MYSWITCH.

Can you please elaborate how you clean the caption data?
There's an example of it here using the SwisPowerShell module in PowerShell.
