Hello everyone,

I am looking a way that we can locate all workstations in the network geograpically. Does anyone know or have any ideas that i can push a computer description name for each one of computer out there that i can use the computer description field? may be a vbscript that can do a magic?
Unfortunately, those workstaions some have a description and some don't.
Even if there is a third party tool available would help me too... Very mych appreciate your help! This is very critical for us here.Thanks!

You need to add a regkey to set the description:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters]
"srvcomment" = "xxxxx"

You can push this using a custom GPO or add it to a login script
 
Thank you NSANTIN,
Question is each computer has its own description, how do you use the GPO or logon script to change each of PC's description?

Thanks,
