We use the first 2 initials to indicate the plant where the PC is located. The next 2 are the Operating System. The rest is an internal bar code number that we have on each PC for inventory tracking.

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.... Thanks in advance, Paul
