Why don't you got for something like this:

        3 Letter Property Abbreviation - 3 Letter Department - 3 Numeric
Sequence

        i.e. - ABCMIS001

We use that form of a scheme and then use a access database for documenting
everything from IP addresss, to software version to type of hardware.
Everything then revolves around that number.

Thank You,

Subject: Workstation Naming Standards


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
