Script to rename multiple computers?

[ojosh]

Hi all,

I have more than 80 computers on my LAN and I run Windows 2003 MS ADS to manage them.

I want to rename all the systems on the network without going to going to each of them and performing the renaming manually.

Can somebody tell me on how to go about this.

Thanks.

Test it before letting loose on your production environment!

Ah, you didn't specify.... Don't know of any MS tools, however there may be a 3rd party tool out there.
