Malcolm From: Chris Blair [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 20 February, 2008 13:01 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Mass Computer Rename I need to rename all of our workstations to adhere to a new naming standard. These machines, for now, will remain in the same domain. I have found various scripts on Google, but I would like to hear from someone that has done this. Any pitfalls?
