@black3dynamite said in Best naming strategy for IT assets:
Using Snipe-IT, we use a two-letter prefix followed by a five-digit number.
We have a 2-3 letter prefix (company initials) and then 5 digit number also.
-
Thanks very helpfull, the two letter prefix are capital or small ?
-
3 character prefix then 6 digits but we are adding mobile/printers/pc/
Only really did 6 as it filled the labels we had printed better
-
My physical assets use a 2 digit prefix and then a 5 digit number.
This doesn't mean the computers are named that though..... Cause others think using an asset tag is difficult to know what the system is for.

Uppercase.
-
I use lower case.
ab-00000
-
I use a 4 character code telling me whether it is a desktop, laptop, for faculty or staff. Then a short building abbreviation to let me know where it is. Finally a unique 4 digit property code.
-
@jmoore are you using Snipe-IT?
-
no i'm not.

Ah, I was curious how you would have a simple way to auto increment your asset tags, Snipe-IT has a way, but the prefix is static to whatever you provide.
Of course it could be changed manually, but who would want to do that.

@dustinb3403 I will install it to see what your talking about and try to get back with you.

I like how simple and straightforward the app is.
Before that I was using GLPI which I still like too. -

We use GUID for that.

We use the Chassis ID or Serial Number. Depending on vendor/brand.
