We're having a tough time with users becoming confused when they browse the
network and see server names with a comment in parentheses. For example, one
of our servers has a comment that is the name of our network admin who left
two years ago.

You can also see the comment by right-clicking on the server and choosing
Properties.

How can I change the comment in Windows 2000 Server?
 
A few of ways to do this:

From the command line
net config server /srvcomment:"string"
(Setting this from the command line may turn off auto tuning for the server
service.)

Right-click My Computer, "Manage", right-click "Computer Management(local)",
Properties|Network Identification|Description

Server Manager (in the resource kit)

Edit local/remote registry at
HKLM\SYSTEM\CCS\Services\lanmanserver\parameters, REG_SZ value 'srvcomment'.
