Is there a way to change computer names on multiplr
computers without having to go to each one individually?
Maybe remotely?

There's a couple different ways thru scripting. Check www.technet.com,
Scripting Center for some sample scripts. Also check
http://cwashington.netreach.net for a bunch of free scripts. I thought I saw
one in there that will do that. You can also modify them to work for your
needs.

Also, you may want to try the netsh tool. Not sure it will change the
computer name, but you can try this to dump the properties out. I haven't
tried it yet myself:
netsh dump > NICproperties.txt
And read the dump file and see if it's in there.

You can also try WMI.
