All computers that are owned by 鶹Ƶ use a special naming convention to quickly identify them.

The format depends on whether the computer is a personal machine for a specific faculty/staff member.

Faculty/staff computers

Faculty and Staff computers are named with their 鶹Ƶ username followed by a dash and a number. The number is the first available number based on the number of network devices the user has registered.

example: jsmith-3
