I am curious as to what organizations are using for PC naming standards, and if there are documented standards anywhere. I recently got into a discussion on the topic with someone who insisted that naming PC’s with user names is the best method. Our current environment includes over 500 nodes at 18 locations throughout the US and one in Asia. I strongly disagreed with the idea of using user names for a number of reasons, primarily because we had used it before and it was very difficult to manage. We currently use the following convention: (department or location and PC number). Here are some examples: ADMIN01 for a PC in the Administration Department
NYCSR01 for a PC in the New York City Showroom.
I am doing a study of what others are doing and if I could find documented standards that would be great!
Thanks!
