Subject: RE: Workstation Naming Standards3 digit city, 1 digit OS, then machine inventory/asset tag# (this ties it back to the inventory and username.)looks like we may be doing something similar with servers soon.I don't like the way 2000 automatically names machines <domainname>-<randomalphanumeric>. totally useless for finding machines.I did work at one site where they named their servers after star trek characters. it sounded funny when they said "Spock crashed again", " Can you reboot Spock".DanWant to unsub?

Subject: RE: Workstation Naming StandardsI use the user name, but I've got a small 50 person installation. I change the name if the person changes. It simplifies figuring out who's having a problem, because I know everyone. Tougher in a large organization.
I sure as heck wouldn't agonize over it. You want to be able to browse a list to pinpoint who's having a problem. And if necessary tie that back to some inventory/allocation information. Serial Number would probably work if you have a good inventory system.

I don't use user names. What happens when that employee quits?
You have to rename their machine as part of setting up a new user?
I would use City_Dept_JobFunction then add a number for multiple job
functions.

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
