Having a multiple servers connected to a KVM (keyboard, video and mouse) switch?
It's convenient and easy to switch from one server to
another.
By pressing the button on the KVM and boom your already connected to another server, or just press control key twice.
But it will not be convenient if you have a multiple servers
and you don’t know which one is which one.
By switching from one server to another, we need to identify
which server handles the specific function or service, or just show the server
name and you will be able to know the current server.
For example there are 2 accounting servers, 2 file servers
and 2 web servers
Accounting Server 1
Accounting Server 2
File Server - 1
File Server - 2
Web server Java
Web server ASP
When switching from one server to another, if the servers
are locked they all look the same.
You will not be able to identify the function or get the
name the server unless you logon to it.
How to know the server name without logging in?
Begin on this folder location:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures -- -- This
path is the same for both Windows 2008 and Windows 2012.
Edit the "user.bmp" with paintbrush or any image
editor of your choice.
See screen shot below:
This steps mentioned above will help and it needs to press
"ctrl+alt+del" to show the logon picture that tells the function or
shows name of the server.
Just press "ctrl+alt+del" no need to key in the
username and password, and on the logon page you the edited image is shown. See
example output below:
That's a simple trick on how to show the server name if you are using a
KVM switch without logging in to the server.
