Servers
Domain Controllers = 100
File Servers = 200
App Servers = 300
Web Servers= 400
Telephony Servers=500
Clients = 600,700,800,900, 1000
Then I throw in a location
DC= 100R1S1 That means its Domain Controller 100 in Rack1 Slot 1
204R4S6 would be File Server 204 in Rack 4 Slot 6
Clients are a bit different in that you would replace the Rack and Slot with Floor Location, Dept, or Drop Location
684F2DACD139 = Client 684 Floor 2 Dept Accounting Drop 139
This isnt as exciting as comming up with your favorite movie naming scheme but it keeps track of all your devices. But really anything that meets your fancy will be fine.
Good Luck
