Netman Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Here we go then... Let's be having your top server names... and to start us off, here's my current set. Zorro - File server. Can't remember why but no, it's not a blade server! Binka - AD PDC named after the fat cat in the cartoon... Carmen - Print server 'cause network printing is a tragedy! Pandora - Email, You open the box and all the evils of the world fly out... Cerberus - Firewall, the three headed dog guarding the entrance to the afterlife! Shrek - Management server, because it's a mess! BadaBing - DC/Backups From my favourite TV show Sopranos - where all the wiseguys go to hang out! A couple more just have boring names - now I've shown you mine so you show me yours... :mrgreen:
E1uSiV3 Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 PDC = PDC/DNS/DHCP/WINS/Profiles SQL = SQL/CMIS Exchange = Exchange Applications = File server for MSIs/network software/print server Yes yes i know, boring mofo that i am... lol
steve Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 00admin - file server / dns / wins / dhcp 01admin - exchange 02admin - sql 03admin - wsus / sophos updates 00student - files erver / dns / dhcp / wins 01student - media server 03student - file server 04student - backup server 11print - print server 00cisco - radius server very boring, but i'm too lazy to look down a list of names to find them
RobC Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Network 1: Myelgas1 - Local DC/File Server/Sophos server/Backups Myelgas2 - Exchange/Proxy Network 2: Primergy - PDC/File Server/Print Server/SQL Server (It's the only box on this network)
russdev Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 server1 - old nt box about to be shutdown for final time soon lhs-sr-001 - main domain server isa_gateway - isa box admin_server - admin server Russ
GrumbleDook Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Palladium and Cadmium - DCs / profiles / MOM / SMS / RIS Platinum - File Server, Application Server Titanium - Print Server and Successmaker Proxy - Content filtering, mail filtering, firewall log server (and backup content filtering DB) Magneto - Admin server (SIMS.net, FMS, Payrole, admin staff file server) Iridium - First Class (email / VLE) Silver - Installs Uranium - Web Server, Application Server Alice - Library Server, Application Server QCA - KS3 Tests Pilot Server and soon to get sorted will be another Application Server (technetium?). The problem we have is that a number of applications that departments have purchased are the networked versions ... and they very rarely work on the same box as something else ... so we setup a test box with the offending article ... then try it with a few other things ... see what works together and hope for the best. So many apps like their own version of things ... we have stuff on PHP that wants a mysql backend, stuff that want postgresql, and then stuff that wants apache of a particular version, or IIS but hates running on a box with MSDE or M$SQL ... I try and make sure that we always get a test copy first ... and that we trial things before a new scheme of work is bought / written.
DMcCoy Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Agamemnon: DC, File server, Quota Server, DNS, DHCP Hades: ISA, SquidNT Cerberus: IIS, Apache, MySQL, PHP Nemesis: WinINSTALL, Print server, AB Tutor Control, Ghost, RIS, Browse Control. ilibra: (ancient mail server soon to be replaced - thats why name doesn't fit) Pegasus: Sims Bromcom: Bromcom 1855ESX1 to 1855ESX6: VMWare ESX servers (soon to replace all of the above). Hyperion: VirtualCenter, Backup Exec Edit: How could I forget SIMS!
russdev Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 ..... QCA - KS3 Tests Pilot Server ..... The problem we have is that a number of applications that departments have purchased are the networked versions ... and they very rarely work on the same box as something else ... so we setup a test box with the offending article ... then try it with a few other things ... see what works together and hope for the best. So many apps like their own version of things ... we have stuff on PHP that wants a mysql backend, stuff that want postgresql, and then stuff that wants apache of a particular version, or IIS but hates running on a box with MSDE or M$SQL ...... like qca test software does not work with sims, windows, mac, linux other qca software in fact it has be known for it not to work with its self... but i am guessing as i would never speak publicly about it.... might tell the truth russ
eduabncs Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 One of our external internet facing servers is call 'skywalker'!
Ric_ Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 I like to have exciting names: * SVR1 - DC/DNS/DHCP/RIS/File Server * SVR2 - DC/DNS/File Server * SVR3 - Exchange/Print Server/WSUS/Sophos * SVR4 - ISA/File Server * SVRTS1 -> SVRTS6 - Citrix Servers * AD-2000-02103 - Admin Server (Named by County types - Active Directory, 2000 Server, District and School Number 02103) * PreAbXS - SQL (Primarily for Nedap PreAbXS database and associated software) * Voicemail - Guess what this is for! * DEBIAN-02 - My second Debian Linux test server My switches, SAN devices, tape library, etc. also have equally dull names but at least they're not too difficult to spell
ChrisH Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Hmm I thought RIS and DHCP didnt play nicely on the same box? Was certainly the case when I tried. I have an exciting naming scheme FMDC1 - DC/File server/DNS FMDC2- DC/RIS/DNS I did have a moment of creative thought with the new Mail server though... PostOffice - Exchange/DHCP/Web Server FMProxy- Censornet - Proxy/Filter and Firewall
Ric_ Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 @ChrisH: I'm sure I read that RIS and DHCP work best on the same box. I'm sure that it's entirely possible that MS have written contradictary advice on the subject.
ChrisH Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 I read that is was a problem and when I tried it, it was.... Maybe they fixed something since then. That was over a year ago.
GrumbleDook Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 I know I lumped both DCs together, but it actually breaks down into ... Palladium - DC/DHCP/DNS/ Cadmium - DC/DNS/RIS/MOM/SMS Palladium is obviously the god of all machines in the building. I wanted to call it Tony to reflect this but I don't think Stephen would have agreed.
Sirbendy Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 Ours were named by NGFL..ready for this? Edit901 Edit902 Edit903 Edit904 wait for it...WAIT for it... Edit905. Creative, no? Our little office server is TAW900CCTV Personally, my home network file server is called Shitbag, my main rig is bigboy, the inspiron I'm typing on is heapojunk, and the Vaio is Booby (chosen by my missus). The one at my old school was "Happy_Valley". God knows why..

RobC Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 Kabaddi Heh, I got a warning from the bouncers in our local night club a few years back for playing Kabaddi on the dancefloor with a mate. Ah, good times!
