SharePoint is the fun stuff I get to do when I am not doing 'real' work with 
our Asset Management, Library Management, and EDRMS systems! :)
Or working on a myriad of other projects...

I really want to setup a great environment as if I can convince my (ICT) 
department and management its useful, I can start planning a proper enterprise 
wide architecture and farm/s and hopefully start integrating with our other 
systems.

Regards,

Marko

Thanks Roger and Sezai

Will look into those, test, and redo the PROD environment as there is no real 
deadline for this to be up.

Hi Marko,

I would give this tool a try: http://autospinstaller.codeplex.com/
It lets you execute a full PowerShell scripted install and you have full 
control over all database names.

I recommend you learn how to use this first on another non-production setup. 
You're going to have to invest a bit of time trying it out and and testing a 
few installs in a non-prod farm first. After that investment of time you should 
be able to spin up future SharePoint farms in a fraction of the time.

In regards to production builds, PowerShell is really the way to go. You can 
specify nice database names for all of them, as well as any other configuration 
aspect.

If you have deployed some databases already, this article gives a nice way to 
change things: 
http://www.bullspit.co.uk/2011/03/19/sharepoint-2010-change-the-name-of-the-administration-content-database.
 This is also using PowerShell, which I highly recommend for farm deployment (I 
don't think I've done config/deployment through the UI for a long time now).

There are also some good starting points on TechNet with ready built examples:

Subject: Database names with GUIDs

Hi

I am currently building my first production non-stand alone SharePoint 2010 
farm. (Yay!)

When running install and config I wanted to use a prefix for my databases, 
something like SP2010_Prod_<database>, which worked great for the _Config 
database, but after running the wixard the rest of them have the horrible GUID 
at the end. Not wanting to start all over, is there a clean workable way to 
rename all the databases, I.E. not just the WSS_Content databases?

Cheers all!
