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! xd On 29 April 2011 17:26, <taneja.security () gmail com> wrote:
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" .
