Greetings,
What naming conventions do you use for devices such as servers (srv), workstations (wks), notebooks (nb), thinclients (tc), switches (sw), routers, wireless access points (wap), printers (ptr), and print servers (pts)?
At my workplace the formula is <type><location><#>, where <type> is any one of those abbreviations I wrote in parenthesis in my first paragraph, and then location is the abbreviation of a branch, and # from 0 to 999.
Just doing some research to find out what other people are doing. I work at another company for which I will be setting up an AD for the first time on their network, so I am trying to figure out naming conventions and structure (plan and write things down before doing anything). I think I will use <###><location><type> because it makes more sense and is easier to sort, and is kind of like YYYY/MM/dd format and military time.
