If I still worked in a small shop, I'd probably still be doing it the fun way. I just can fathom it on a medium or large scale.
In a small environment, its not a bad idea to use names. If they are desktops
you can always associate the name with the person using it..
and for the server, you can easily associate with the function and
personality (if the names are picked that way)
but beyond a couple of dozen systems, its a mess to track the names down.
but for a large environment, you need to go by geographic information,
building name, floors, corners etc.. boring, but very effective.
