List two of Microsoft's recommendations for creating a computer name.

What will be an ideal response?


The maximum length is 63 characters, but if Windows NT computers are on the network, the Windows NT computers will only recognize the first 15 characters.

Use shorter names up to 15 characters for easier typing.

The computer should have a name that is different from any other computer name on the local network or in the domain.

If no DNS server exists on the network, use only standard Internet characters, which include upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and the hyphen (-) character, but do not use only numbers.

If a DNS server is present on the network, use standard Internet characters plus additional characters such as $, %, &, *, and others.
