Print Queue and Print
Server
A print queue and print server name should start with the characters PS and
PQ. The rest of the name should contain the department server name and a
number for each print server or print queue.
For example, a print server could be named PS-NCS001-1 and service print
queues named PQ-NCS001-1 and PQ-NCS001-2.
Profile Base profile names on the function supplied by the profile. For example,
the profile in a container providing all the required mappings for the
departmental users could be named PF-NCSMAP.
Server Use a set of three-character codes (for the location, division, and server) for
a server name.
Use the airline city code as the three-character location code. This code is
widely recognized because all commercial airports in the world have one.
Therefore, a server located in Provo and used by NCS would be named
PRV-NCS-001.
Server names must be unique. So if you have one server named ACCTG,
you cannot have another server with that same name anywhere on the
network. (This is a restriction of SAP rather than NDS.)
User Restrict usernames to eight characters to match the E-mail name length.
The E-mail name consists of the first letter of the first name, followed by
the last name. For example, Bill Smith becomes BSMITH.
If more than one person with the same first initial and last name exists, add
the middle initial as the second character of the name. For example, Bill
Smith could be BSMITH and Beverly Lynn Smith could be BLSMITH.
