My only two cents are: 1. Don't use user names - always a bad idea. 2. Think about browse order - in names.
While most users should rarely have to use browsing to do useful work you will! So having server codes at front of browse lists is very helpful. My last big jobs - server started with SRVR and workstations where Xnnnnn. Just a lot more easy to get around. Bob [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Osama S.

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 Want to unsub?
