Naming Standard

OK, so I'm trying to come up with a one-size-fits-all name. It should identify whether the device is a PC or Laptop, it should detail the site it's at, whether it's productio or DEV and have a unique id.

I've come up with site-function-unique ID so <XXXX>-<w/L><P/D>-<nnnn> eg HOME-WP-1234 tells me that it's a workstation (W) in Production (P) at site 'home' with ID 1234

Anyone got any comments on this standdard - I'd be keen to see what other people are using.

This is primaritly for workstations, but a server adoption is possible (S for Server)

Does your site structure span offices, towns, states, countries? If you only have a smaller environment, that will work just fine. However, if you've got a multinational organization, something like <country code><state/province/city><laptop/desktop><designation>. For example, an XP desktop in NYC in the US in marketing would have a name like:

USNY1LMARK01

Just my few quid.
