Think im going to go with OFFICE/DEPT/ then unique ID number and keep a database of which user is assigned to which machine, easy to update the user database rather then renaming machines all the time. | |

Our are all logged under and asset tag, then information about location, user, build, faulte etc are logged on a central database. This is managed by the IT helpdesk who checks the details on a regular basis. | |

Make sure you leave the option to add pcs if the network expands aswell as you don't want to use all the names possible in your naming convention and then having to name new additions to the network something else. | |

Come up with something creative - a list of anything such as rivers/cartoon characters would be awkward given you'll be naming 500+ machines. | |

Maybe just PC1-PC500 | |

Peoples Names are no good from a security pov. i.e. If I want to rob some data from John Smiths pc then I would just look for JSMITH computer, (or connect remotly to it since I know the name of the Pc!!) | |

You'd probably get peeps complaining if you used the DOB. | |

I tend to use a few letters and numbers. These usually consist of the letter indicating the location and the numbers are made up of some of the I.P. | |

Right ive been handed the task off applying a naming policy to all pc`s within the company. About 500ish at the moment i think. currently all the machine names are just the default jibberish they get assigned after an OS install. |
