server naming

One way I enjoy (since I've only worked with tiny networks) is to use fictional characters - like the 7 dwarves, Chip & Dale, etc. My home server is my favorite, though - Mastercylinder. If I could repackage it in a cylinder shape, I probably would.

Hi all how do you name your servers at work? some use characters from books (lord of the rings for example) what do you use? bryce --- Publitor, making Pubmed easy. http://www.sohocode.com/publitor
Where I used to work, until recently; they were named using the department and then a number. the Strip Department had Strip1 to Strip5 and the Metallurgy Lab had MetLab1 to MetLab3. Of course, we installed Sapphire from LabVantage (LIMs system) and the server was MetLabLIMS ...

In my home network, I use characters from the Victor Hugo novel, Les Miserables. Cheers, Tom Archer Inside C#,

I've only named 2 computers (Red-Rocket and Pyro) but some of the computer names at work are dev1, lucy, wal (for William A. Lindgren), cadkey, and gatekeeper (the firewall). On campus they name the servers stuff like rocket, saucer, and comet and the labs that have multiple computers are named stuff like gpunix#, dell#, and blade#, replacing # with a number.

Unfortunately yes...and yeah, I do actually go to church(otherwise that passage probably wouldn't have sprung to mind). I really should go pray now...I sure hope this house has a good lightning rod system. :~

Why not just have it sticking out the "top" like a top loading toaster? You could even get something like one of those laptop CD drives that has the thingy in the middle that latches onto the CDs.

The only problem is my computer sits underneath my desk, and there's not a lot of room under there. I don't think I'd be able to fit a CD height on top of the computer...

We once named our servers planet names (with the dev server being named Sun as everything revolves around it :rolleyes: ). Then each department was a continent, with each pc in that department taking a name from that continent :)

I'm a geek, but everytime I repave my laptop I use a different Star Trek ship name...right now I'm on Valiant (a Defiant class vessel, named so after the USS Defiant). The IT guys were baffled one day when the found Defiant in Network Neighborhood. :-D
