1 POLICY Network MIDDLE GEORGIA STATE COLLEGE Page 1 of 2 OFFICE OF TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES Effective Date: 4/19/2013 Title: DNS Naming Convention Policy 1 Overview DNS names, aka hostnames or computer names, are used to identify various devices on the network. In order to ensure names are compatible with DNS requirements, certain standards must be maintained. 2 Purpose To develop a standard DNS naming convention that complies with strict-ansi, provides uniqueness and provides an easy way to identify devices on the network. 3 Scope All network devices assigned a static or dynamic address on the Middle Georgia State College computer network. 4 Policy A computer name can be up to 15 alphanumeric characters with no blank spaces. The name must be unique on the network. The only characters that can be used in DNS hostnames are A to Z, a to z, 0 to 9, and the hyphen ( - ). The computer name cannot contain blank or space characters. No distinction is made between upper and lowercase. The first character must be alphabetical or numeric. The last character must not be a minus sign or a period. Minimum name length is 2 characters. Maximum name length is 15 characters. Computer names cannot be composed completely of numbers. Do not use character case to indicate the owner or the purpose of a computer. DNS is not case-sensitive. Do not assign the same computer name to computers in different DNS domains. 5 Standard Static Devices such as desktop computers and printers must have names constructed as follows: (CampusCode)-(BuildingCode)(RoomNumber)-(UsageCode)(DeviceCode)(OptionalSequence) **-***###-***## Campus Codes: Max 2 Characters MC Macon Campus WR Warner Robins Campus AF Air Force Base Library Building 905 CC Cochran Campus DC EC
