So my suggestion of Apple Dumpling Gang is off base I guess.

I don't think group names are BS. Group names have an effect on outside perceptions about what your group does and is assigned. Especially at larger companies where no one can keep the entire structure in their head and rely on distribution lists or group names to make educated assumtions about who to contact for what. Name are important to perception. I'd go with Systems Engineering. If you have multiple OS's and a seperate Network and Unix team, Windows Systems Engineering. You could also go with Server Infrastructure Team or something similiar. You want something inclusive of your scope but not something that steps on what the other teams do. Steven Peck

    The problem is there is currently NO name. I report to the Service
    Desk manager but I’m an SE, not a Service Desk guy. Nobody else
    builds servers for internal use (and this happens frequently
    around here), manages AD, SMS, Shavlik patching, and
    server-delivered apps/web sites, blah blah blah. It’s not my job
    title I’m wondering about, it’s my department name which currently
    doesn’t exist.

    Personally I think all this stuff is BS, especially at larger
    companies. In the last 3 years here they have renamed our group 3
    times. No functional difference. When I was hired, my title was
    "Systems Engineer" they recently modified position titles and now
    we are called "Technical Support III" again, no functional
    difference in the job or the requirements. So I wouldn't get hung
    up on group names. May I suggest BOFH?

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------




    So…in my org we have a Service Desk team that handles the PC
    stuff, an SE team (called IS Delivery) that handles many of our
    servers (internal and client facing) and then there’s me – spun
    off from the SE team - who is effectively the “SE team” that
    handles internal facing servers. It’s largely a forgone conclusion
    that I will have another SE and probably a DBA join me so we can
    **fully** take over the care and feeding of the Active Directory
    and server infrastructure.
What would be an appropriate dept/team name be? What is the dept 
    name of your guys’ teams that manage AD and servers?
