[[Workstations.mdb]] collects them from here.

== naming convention ==
As of 2021-07-05:
If a device still has the old naming convention, that will stay the same unless the device is re-imaged or replaced.  If the latter, then the new naming convention is as follows:
*W - for WRHA
*SB - for name of site
*Block and room number
*D for desktop PC or M for mobile device
*The last six digits of the serial number of the device.
