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
I once worked for a company that used the names from the old Scandinavian religion. The developer server was called Bifrost, which was a rainbow that served as a bridge from the world of the humans to Midgard which was where the Gods and the Trolls lived.

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

At the uni I was at, all the servers were named after characters and stuff from the bible: cain, abel, moses, ark etc...

Luke 2:9 - 12 (Slightly ammended) And a Sales Rep from Microsoft suddenly stood before them, and the glory of Bill shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. But the rep said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the students; for today in the classroom of Ryan there has been born for you a Savior, which is a Windows Server. "This will be a sign for you: you will find a server encased in aluminum and sitting in a rack." I need to go pray for forgiveness now...:-O

I've had a couple of naming conventions - currently it's based around the XBox game Halo. My desktop is "cortana" and my server is "guiltyspark" :-D. -- Ian Darling

I didn't really answer your question the first time around, so here goes again :-O I name my servers and workstations after cars e.g. mine is Ferrari, there's a Corvette, there used to be a Porsche etc... Paul ;)

The reverse is even scarier: The bible could be some kind of Star Wars thing.

No, actually. I can't think of a single pr0n star's name... The last XXX video I watched was called 'The Cheerleaders', and it broke my heart. The girl I loved all through High School had, that same day, announced to me that she'd won a place on the cheerleading team.

at my last job, we named them after terminal illnesses (anthrax, ebola, hunta, etc). we figured that if we named the servers after the nastier viri, computer-based viri would not come sniffing around. my workgroup at home is "SkyNET". ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

My poor little NT4 server is called Rincewind... Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D

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 thought it was pretty good for the following reasons: 1) Blowing up stuff 2) 2 really hot chicks 3) More blowing up stuff 4) The computer stuff actually looked believable. SkyNET booting up looked like a Linux server going through it's bootup proceedure. :rolleyes:

The geeky way: AAABCCCC#### Where: AAA = FIL = file server PXY = proxy server WEB = web server MAL = mail server DBS = database server DTP = desktop MBL - laptop B = T = Test machine P = Production system CCCC = W2KP = Windows 2k Pro W2KS = Windows 2k Server WXPP = Windows XP Pro #### = The number of the machine in that class as it was placed into service. Padded with 0's For example, my deaktop at work is MBLPW2KP0432 MBL = Laptop P = Production system W2KP = Windows 2k Pro 0432 = I was the 432 system put online in that class Geeky I know, but it seems to work and it keep sthings consistent I have asked before about what happens when one machine is used for mutliple tasks and I was told that does not happen. Now that I think of it, I have not seen that happen so far.

I hope your backup server wasn't "Uranus"... One day in the computer room.... "Hey Joe!" "Yeah?" "Get the tape out of Uranus!" :eek: :eek:
