what naming convention do you use? linked clones / full vm

[EW111]

Hey everyone, Im looking for best practice on naming convention for linked clone pools.

i have multiple pools now that have different purpose and each time im naming them a little differently id liek to come up with a standard scheme. i want to see what other people are doing.

what im doing now.

location-poolname###-VDI

for example

US-OFF001-VDI (united states-office is the application, 001 is the number-VDI)

Naming conventions does not have any thumb of rule, just need to stick within the 15 letter limit.

Couple of things that are following at our end are location /  department / type (but sometime doesn't use VDI at all, as all those goes to a separate OU, instead specify the OS type W7 or W8 for windows)

I would suggest to stick on the best and convenient format that your suites your organization needs.

We're doing something similar except we do location-poolname-###

So instead of US-OFF001-VDI it would be US-OFF-001.  I don't have the need for the VDI label.

how do you guys differenciate your VDI machines vs your physcial machines? do you just manage it through different OU's?

[nzorn]

Yes, different OU's and only our VDI environment is named that way so it's pretty easy to tell.
