Ok I?m going to upgrade to WIN 2000 server. I have 4 servers in California, 1 in Ohio, 1 in Scotland and 1 in Mexico with NT 4.0 service pack 6, from want I read I would need to name my server ohio.domian.com, mex.domain.com and scotland.domain.com.What about the California location that has more than one server in it, which is going to the be the first Win 2000 in my network so that server would be named domain.com. My question is so what will the other server in California be named? Can I name them file.domain.com and RAS.domain.com these server will need to be member servers right.

You can name the server what ever you want. To make things clear I use a naming convention of (location&service) Example for a file server in california. I would use CaliFile. The naming convention depends on you. Some people like generic nameslike Server01.

The naming convention mentioned by wwwacny is used quite often. What you seem to be having a problem with is the domain name. You can have the top domain name of company.com. Then you can use the locations as a subdivision of your domain (ohio.company.com). When you want to connect to a computer in your company, then you will use the fully qualified name of computer.ohio.company.com. Then name of your computer can be anything you like (ohfile or ohsql), the operating system will set up the fully qualified name for you.
