One other suggestion.
We have a production server platform, acceptance and integration
platform, and an office network.
The production servers are named after animals (monkey=hosted exchange,
lion1=oracle).
Our acceptance platform has car brand names (isuzu=exchange,
mini=oracle).
Integration platform has inventor names (like newton, doppler, wahl).
Our office servers have planet names (earth. Pluto, jupiter).....
And then there is our Tivoli management platform. Since it's working
like a bitch, we decided to give it pig names (potbelly, warthog,
wildboar, swine).

I name our dept computers after some theme or another, ie what feels
best for the moment. For a time I named them after various star
trek-themes, like Klingon, Defiant etc. Some time it was Star Wars, like
Luke, Vader etc. Also star-configurations has been used like Orion,
Libra etc.
One good thing not naming them with numbers like below, is that you get
a reasonably good hunch of what computer I'm dealing with (location and
user). We have some 60-70 clients out now, and I have not seen any
problem.
Also the users like that the computers are named after things, so that
their computers aquire some kind of soul. Ppl ten to care more about the
computer if it has a name, as opposed to "computer123a" or some such. If
the computer has a machinelike name the users tend to slap it around
more.
Must be a subconscious psychological thing or something. 8-)

Hello,
We are looking to change the naming conventions that we use for PCs.
Right now we name them with the department name and a number
(ex: for our Accounting Dept- acct4, acct5, etc.). It was recommended
to us that we should change our naming convention for security reasons.
I wanted to know what convention others are using&.
BW,
Sorin
