One thing nobody has mentioned in this thread is the affect obscure names have on your auditors. I got written up over ntserv2. Thor was fine.
Bill Songstad -----Original Message----- From: Rishi Kumar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 14, 2008 6:39 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Naming convention for Servers I have a general question that I'd like to put up for discussion. I work for a medium size company with about 50 servers. Most of our domain controllers and exchange servers have random names....(These are not real) but something like George, Gertrude, etc... I am one of TWO system admins... or let's say 3 sys admins, including my supervisor. I have been pleading to start using a naming convention for the last several months as it is now getting confusing to remember which sever performs which function and which office it is located. (We have 7 different office locations throughout the country). Is there really a good reason to NOT have a naming convention? ************************************************************************ ************ This footnote confirms that this email message has been scanned by PineApp Mail-SeCure for the presence of malicious code, vandals & computer viruses. ************************************************************************ ************ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
