Hello,
My firm uses the following naming convention:
Every cubicle and office has a 4 digit location number associated with
it'
me (and SID), and we use Ghost,
Sysprep, and a WinNT.SIF floppy disk to image 2000 machines and change the
name (and SID). Good luck.

I don't use user names. What happens when that employee quits?
You have to rename their machine as part of setting up a new user?
I would use City_Dept_JobFunction then add a number for multiple job

I
still use non-descript names. In my case, car names, because they’re plentiful
and easier to remember than XXY-003DC-7T. So, my computers are named things
like Camry, Chevelle, Viper, Yukon, etc…. and then I just keep a spreadsheet of
who’s using

I use something simple - three letter office code, one letter

on.
