network identification description?

[Vic]

Can someone help me find the place to enter a network description for this
PC?
The Network ID (full computer name) is '123PC'.
Workgroup is 'HOME'.

Where can I find the place to enter its network description?

Thanks
Vic

What exactly do you mean with "network identification description"?

Dave, you are a genius!

Used answer #2 to assign the description then saved (exported) #4 to a place
for safe keeping in case it is ever needed. ... think I'll save your post
as well.

Thanks for he help!

A few of ways to do this:

From the command line
1.) net config server /srvcomment:"somename"
(not recommended as setting this from the command line turns off auto tuning
for the server service.)


2.) Right-click My Computer, "Manage", right-click "Computer
Management(local)", Properties|Network Identification|Description


3.) Server Manager (in the resource kit)


4.) Edit the registry directly.
Add a Reg_Sz string named "srvcomment" with the desired string as the data
to;
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters
