Re: Computer Names
I much prefer standardised names - very boring I know but when there is over 100 servers and god knows how many client devices it is handy to know at first glance the location and function of a device.


Client devices
Division - ABC
Location in Division - DEF
Type of machine - wst (workstation) ldp (laptop) prt (printer) wbt (windows-based terminal)
Unique ID - 123
e.g ABCDEFWST123

Servers
Division - ABC
Type of server - DB (Database) exc (exchange) bes (blackberry enterprise)
Type of machine - SVR
Unique ID - 123
e.g ABCDBSVR001
