hebman Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 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 1234Anyone 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 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:USNY1LMARK01Just my few quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
