The problem with using the username is
that now you have two resources with the same name (the computer and the user),
that’ll mess up the messenger service and quite likely the computer
browser as well. Over the years, I’ve used a number of schemes; right now
I use a combination of machine type, and user’s name. Like NB-Smith, (Ms
Smith has a notebook) and alphabetically all the NBs
and DTs, are grouped together. It’s helpful to know what type system is
in use for backups and central management tools like and anti-virus system.
FWIW, the last big site I worked at, 9500 users, we used serial numbers only –
that was because s/n was the only thing guaranteed to be unique. rod -----Original

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. -----Original
