Mindovermaster Global Moderator Posted June 24, 2018 Global Moderator Share Posted June 24, 2018 Similar to the question, of "What's the name of your Wi-fi?" What's your server name? If you don't have a server, what do you name your PC? Phone? Tablet? Anything Techy? Just wanted to add a little fun Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1366534-whats-the-name-of-your-server/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Zagadka Subscriber² Posted June 24, 2018 Subscriber² Share Posted June 24, 2018 Usually Zagadka-[device] like, -desktop, -media, -android, -laptop, -surface, etc. It is a small network. I used to use different Russian names, but that was too confusing to other people.

giantsnyy Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Nothing fun. i have separate naming conventions for desktops and servers, physical and virtual, as well as switches, firewalls, AP’s, etc. for example, my iMac - DMWS01 My VM Host - SPESXI01 My AD - SVWSAD01 My UniFi Controller - SVLUNIFI01 One of my AP’s - NDWUAP1 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1366534-whats-the-name-of-your-server/#findComment-598293776 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BudMan MVC Posted June 24, 2018 MVC Share Posted June 24, 2018 Yeah sure rfc1178 But I just posted their FQDN.. FQDN should always be given for any host vs just its hostname which is not very useful.. Those are not their hostnames in my example, those are their FQDN.. I like the Rome for the router, since all roads lead to Rome Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1366534-whats-the-name-of-your-server/#findComment-598293876 Share on other sites More sharing options...
