Our severs are named after local place name.

 

When we go virtual I was hoping to name the servers after local fictious placenames. The only problem being the only one I can think if is Ambridge (the village from the archers).

I opted for Greek Titans when started here

 

Servers are:

Cronus, Atlas, Hyperion, Prometheus, Oceanus, Rhea, Helios.

 

I've got some obvious ones too, Intra, Mailex1, Mailex2 & Integris

 

Computer Rooms are:

 

Room 39, Computer 1 = RM39-01

Room 39, Whiteboard = RM39-Whiteboard

etc..

pretty boring here too... prepsrv1, prepsrv2 etc

 

I did an install a while ago at a secondary school migrating from cc3 to vanilla.. they had an interesting user naming policy. They used a colour to represent the year group followed by a number to represent the pupil ie green123 would be a pupil in year 7

 

to top this off there was no accurate record of which user account related to which pupil... I'm sooooo glad I wasn't involved in that part of the project

i forgot, we also had PHOENiX, which we named after phoenix nights, but staff thought it was because the old server died and this was the new one (phoenix from the flames).

we also had TATTOO, another phoenix nights reference....and it was a small server too

I heard of a creative method of naming servers - each was named after a chemical element and the last octal of its IP address was the atomic number of the element.

 

Which meant that you could use a periodic table as a manual DNS.

 

Thats Genius!

I found a wiki once on machine naming conventions, based on how many pcs you wanted to name. Ive lost the address so if anyone knows of it please post.

[OutToLunch]

"Vandalised" and "Broken" ?

[JJonas]

you missed out "Stolen"

At my old job we had different colour schemes for each IT suite, red, green, blue, yellow, white, orange, then the computers were red01, green01 etc

How long before somebody claims you can't do that because you're discriminating against the colour blind?

That's funny. Our science labs are colour coded like that. I wonder if I can get someone from County to send a letter on 1st April?

 

I had an idea for our ICT suites. We recently had a well-respected teacher die and also our Chair of Governors who was a keen ICT man. So I thought we could name the suites after them.

I used to work somewhere where all the servers were Simpsons characters too. Very funny talking to techies about work stuff

We use names of moons and stars now but we still have comedy names on a few.

[forcryingoutloud]

Hehehehe we did the same thing here. Really funny over the radio saying Barts gone down etc.

[riedquat]

Used to name our servers after mythological creatures, ie. Hydra, Gryfin, Phoenix, our switchgear after trek characters (Picard and Kirk were core and Uhura was naturally our comms router). The rooms were just 'Room #-PC #'.

Now were std RM so it's Sitecode-Device-Room-#.
