this is maybe to access theyre database, or belong to it, so they can
basically track every pc, and possibly install psanYwhere as i know many
corps want done, you do need to have proper name of pc for some of this
stuff.. might be administral procedure, i would not stress on this to much
id just ask about more about it...
cheers!

Hi,

Recently got a policy from admin to change your PC name with your "name" +
organisation name.

I am not doing it for a long time as I feel it could be case of
"information leakage" .

So need any ref./case study/security policy referencing not to have real
name .
