The same way you are thinking about with one exception. Instead of the user name we use the asset tag. Users come and go, PCs get reassigned, etc., but the asset tag is unlikely to change until the asset is retired. I would go with "cityname-dept-asset tag".
Thanks "Osama S." <usofwd@yahoo To: "NT System Admin Issues" .com> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: 09/27/2001 Subject: Workstation Naming Standards 12:04 PM Please respond to "NT System Admin Issues" hi, we will be deploying Win2K from scratch on the user's machines (around 700) replacing NT 4. SO I was reviewing our machine naming convention. Our Offices are located in two cities, one single domain. So far we would use something like "CityName-Department-User Real Name" (where city name and department are abbrevations) to name workstations. Usually the NT Names are the users Company ID, which is unique. I was wondering how you guys/girls are naming your workstations and users. regards Uso Want to unsub?
