Network neghbourhood

[Kamesh]

Hi all,

My network consist of workstation with the naming
conventions of desktop1... desktop2..desktopx.

In NT4.0 environment if I specify the computer description
with that username or some identity,... users network
nehbourhood use to display both the name of that host and
the related descriptive name.

But in Windows2000 I am not able to see in network
nehbourhood, even I specicy in the domain controller-->
Active users & Computers -> computers -> computer
properties -> description.

This forcing users to remember the computer names and that
related user.

Is there any method of doing this?

Thanks if any one can reply this.

Thanks & Regards,
Kamesh Akella
