Subject: [NTSysADM] OT: naming for service ID's

Just looking for opinions here:

Say you have multiple directory repositories across your development platforms 
(UAT, SIT, Dev, SIT, Prod, etc ...). Each with it's own directory (LDAP, AD, 
etc....).

When you name your service accounts across the environments, do you prefer to 
note the environment in the name? For example do you do this for each service 
ID for an application:

Widget_ServiceID1

So the name would be the same in each directory for that application?

Or would you do something like this?

Widget_ServiceID1_Dev
Widget_ServiceID1_UAT
Widget_ServiceID1_Prod

I prefer the latter solution, and a colleague of mine vehemently objects to 
this. My reasoning is that when referencing the name of the account in e-mail, 
or discussions, it's self documenting. You immediately know what environment 
they are talking about.


Thoughts?

Thanks
