HOW IS IT POSSIBLE?

hungrymind, I'd ask the users who display this arrangement if they could have possibly put their computer descriptions in the computer name box and their computer names in the computer description box.

If they renamed their PC's they would have to be in the admin group (the NW admin group as they would have to have permissons to create a PC account on the domain).
