Subject: RE: Workstation names and who it belongs to We put them in the description field in AD, as you mentioned. If we are troubleshooting "general use" computers where we need to know who's logged into a particular machine, I use Hyena. For names, we use geographical_location-position-number (Phila-IT-01, etc, etc). Don Guyer Systems Engineer - Information Services Prudential, Fox & Roach/Trident Group 431 W.

We currently have a PC naming standard of <firstinitial><lastname>-<model> but this obviously doesn't scale. One possibility is putting the user name in the description field in AD (I do this for %sidejob%), but I was wondering if there was a better way to automatically get a machine <->user lookup. How do you guys handle it?
