Mikey Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 We've got ours named after fruits. APPLE, ORANGE, PEACH, BANANA, KIWI, PLUM, PINEAPPLE, LEMON etc.. etc... In fact we're looking for a name for our new Exchange server in the summer, any ideas?
webman Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 I think you should reserve "lemon" for your Exchange server, quite an accurate description I think
Mikey Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 I'd agree, except the state of our ISA box, LEMON is far better used for that!
bossman Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 SpuffMonkey: I was born in an east coast seaside resort and i have many good memories please don't diss these places as i will only have to resort (forgive the pun) to sending the boy's round to sort you out hehe
webman Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Hehe, never thought of ISA... Take your pick from this list of fruits on Wikipedia
Geoff Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 There are many other lists on wikipedia you can use too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lists
Guest Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 We're very boring here... servers are named as to what they do (not my idea, I was going to go for the Famous Five and Timmy the Dog as we have 6 servers in all) However the units collectively in their nice HP cabinet are known as Bertha (which always makes me hum the theme tune) And here's me thinking they would be called Anfield , Gerrard etc
indiegirl Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 And here's me thinking they would be called Anfield , Gerrard etc Thank god he doesn't read this site... don't go giving him ideas.....
Guest richard Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 ones of ours is called FRED! I did in a moment of madness call our ISA box GERBIL
crc-ict Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Precious and semi-precious metals (or elements that demonstrate metallic properties ...) I followed that kind of theme at home. My lone server* is called Iridium - I just liked the name! I'm more boring with my PCs - I just derive a single word name from the make and/or model so I can recognise more easily which is which! Hence I'm typing this on Scaleo, although I could have used e170, MV1214 or iPaq!! *Well, calling it a server is a bit grand really - it runs Debian on an old PIII Celeron 600 laptop, running Samba, Apache, PHP and MySQL for file server, intranet server and playing with Moodle!
Gatt Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 the way mine are running at the moment i was gonna call mine little-sh*t, big-sh*t, pile-of-sh*t, etc
Nij.UK Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 have to say im not as exciting with my names DC - CL2K...1 - viglen naming convention.... GHOST - CL2K...2 - again viglen i got a bit more exciting with the other 2 ISASERVER - speaks for itself WEBSERVER - " "
Guest richard Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 the way mine are running at the moment i was gonna call mine little-sh*t, big-sh*t, pile-of-sh*t, etc Let me guess are they running Microsoft products
krb548 Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 We are really sad here, our servers are all called names from the Star Trek Sci series. We use the following: Voyager, Enterprise, Delta-Flyer, Defiant, Concorde, Wellington & DS9 How sad are we? Could not go with the boring traditioanl server 1 to whatever.

Lol I was thinking about that but thought better of it
MouseAT Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Our school domain uses Server1, Server2, Server3 etc. I've built networks for LAN parties over the years with various different naming conventions... Weebl and Bob, Shodan and Xerxes, or more recently, Daedalus, Icarus and Helios.
secman Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 We used to have Jeffrey, George, Freddy, Rod & Jane and still have Bungle % Zippy (both going this summer) We have changed to CURRIC01, ADMIN01, PRINT01 etc. A bit boring but it gives us an idea of function. Cheers Alan
openhgs Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Ok ours are called Bart, Marge, Homer etc Which is what our Linux servers are called - The LTSP servers are Lisa, Bart, Maggie, Homer, Marge, MrBurns, Selma, and Patty. Maud, Ned and Rod (with Tod to come) are a clustered file server. Otto does the backups, Apu is my development box, Skinner is the print server and ComicBookGuy is the intranet server. There are plenty more names available if we get more servers. For M$, the CMIS server is SV1 (server 1) and there isn't a server 2. The eportal box is rather imaginatively named eportal.
Mintsoft Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 msf-sr-001 msf-sr-002 and Admin with our DFES number on the end. Seems a tad boring but, hey! I didnt set them up. I have Osiris and Isis at home for a nice egyptian feel
PsychoTech83 Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 same style as Mintsoft wdb-sr-001 wdb-sr-002 wdb-sr-003 admin1 admin2 not set up by us.
