Recently got a policy from admin to change your PC name with your "name" + organisation name.
The funnier with that thread, is that if you tell us that as a normal user, then that mean that you are a local admin, and most of user must be local admin if they sent that policy to everyone. Kinda a security issue just there, the computer name is just not important. who care your computer name when netbios traffic stay local on your lan. (ex, your co-worker must already know your name, i hope so) -phil _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
