Can you provide descriptions for a Windows Computer in SCOM 2012?

I have a customer who uses a very generic naming scheme for their desktops which makes it hard to know which machine is which.  The naming scheme basically uses a 3 letter acronym for the departments followed by a set of 4 numbers.  So it looks
something like this COM-0103 and when you have a long list of hundreds of machines like that it makes it difficult to know where you need to go and/or who you need to contact when a machine is throwing alerts.
So my question is whether or not there is a way to provide a description for a computer that will have the owner's name or the location of the machine.  Obviously renaming all of the computers would solve the issue, but that's out of the question.  Also
the customer has access to SCOM through a Read-Only Profile and they are only able to see the Monitoring section through the console.
Any ideas or suggestions on how to better identify machines in SCOM, if their names aren't helpful, would be very useful to me and my team.  Thank you in advance!
Jake

Hi Jakob,
Please look at this post, instead of support level you can use your company data, an object can be used in SCOM Monitoring views to sort:

    Reinstalling Mavericks depends on several factors:
    if you erased your recovery partition
    what OS originally came on your Mac.
    I'll assume you don't have a backup available that you made before your mishap,  because you didn't mention it.
    That's really the take home message here: have a backup!
    If you still have your recovery partition:
    boot into the recovery partition (command R at restart)
    use the recovery partition to reinstall Mavericks. see: OS X: About OS X Recovery
    if you do not still have your recovery partition, then it depends on whether your Mac originally came with installer disks or not.
    If it originally came with installer disks, you would boot from the installer disks, erase your HD, and then reinstall the OS that is on the installer disks, and then upgrade as necessary until you get to Mavericks.
    If your mac did not originally come with installer disks, but you managed to erase your recovery partition, then you can try to boot into internet recovery (option-command-R at restart), and use internet recovery to erase your HD and reinstall the OS that originally came with your computer, and then upgrade to Mavericks if you need to. See: Hands on with Mountain Lion's OS X Recovery and Internet Recovery | Macworld
             (the reference refers to ML but it applies just as well to Mavericks).

    Well this could happen for any number of reasons.
    It's a workaround, but you could try the download in this
    link
    http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html
    Technically that's the update for the Flash authoring tool,
    but if you unzip it then you'll have a full players folder that you
    can install. If you're stuck after that point then open a support
    case.
    Flash Player technical support is available via webcase only

    There is no phone support for Flash Player.

    Create The Extension Segment
    Transaction: WE31
    The first step in extending an IDoc is to create the new segments that will go into that IDoc. There are some rules that you need to follow when creating the segments:
    - The name of each segment type must start with ‘Z1’
    - For each field in the segment you need to define a field name and a
    data element.
    - The data element for the segment structure must be of data type ‘CHAR’.
    How to create new segments:
    Run the segment maintenance transaction WE31.
    Type your new segment name, and click on Create.
    Define the fields of your segment:
    Field name
    Data Element for the field (from the ABAP dictionary).
    Do not change the Export length!
    Save the segment
    Run Segment -->Check to check the segment for consistency.
    Release the segment for transport. Select Edit -->Set Release. Note that the “Release’ column now has a check mark.
    Create the Extension IDoc Type
    Transaction: WE30
    After you create the segments to be added to the extension type, you can create the extension type itself. Execute transaction WE30, enter the extension name, select Extension type, and click Create. You now have three options:
    Create new type: Does not refer to other extension types
    Create copy: Copies info from an extension type that already exists
    Create successor: Extends an extension type from a previous release
    of R/3. You can only have one version of an extension type for
    each release.
    Enter the Basic IDoc type that this extension type will extend.
    The screen now shows the structure of the IDoc type you used as
    a reference.
    Position the cursor on one of the segments and click Create. This will insert an extension segment as a child of the selected segment.
    NOTE: A segment cannot appear more than once in an IDoc type! You must control the use of duplicate segments with the segment attributes (the next screen).
    The segment attribute screen appears. Enter the information and save.
    Extension segments should not be mandatory (for future upgrades), and will need to have minimum and maximum number of instances defined. This answers the question, “for each instance of the parent segment, how many instances of the child segment may we have?”
    You can press the Segment Editor pushbutton to view or change the segment definition.
    Create the new Message Type
    You can only use an extension IDoc type by assigning it to a message type. You can create a new message type for this.
    First the message type itself needs to be created.
    Transaction: WE81
    Create a new entry and save. Use SAP established customer naming conventions (good form is to start with a Z and retain the rest of the related SAP message type, so, for example, MATMAS becomes ZMATMAS).
    After creating the message type, associate it with the corresponding Basic IDoc Type and Extension Type. This relationship is used when IDocs are sent to or received from a partner to determine what segments are valid and what the hierarchy for those segments is.
    Transaction: WE82
    Create a new entry and enter the Message type, Basic IDoc type, Extension type, and Release, and save your data. Note: the release assignment is not valid for prior SAP releases.
    One message type can be associated with many basic IDoc types; however, you need a one-to-one relationship for distribution via ALE.

    The Examples They Show Are not for my computer I Need instructions For A Windows Computer HP TouchSmart

    hp
    The answers are in the details, and you have not given us enough details to help you.
    Right now I am guessing at what you seek. Are you trying to use your HP Touch Screen to do your
    Premiere Elements importing, editing, and exporting and the Touch Screen movements are not working
    to do what you want to do in Premiere Elements?
    Have you configured the HP computer Touch Screen? Using the Touch Screen, what cannot you do
    that you can do with the mouse?
    HP Support document - HP Support Center
    If I am guessing correctly here, does the mouse work instead of the Touch Screen to allow you to
    work in the program.
    I suspect that Premiere Elements does not support Touch Screen and you will end up using a mouse, but I would need to do more homework on
    that.
    This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. If you are dealing with the current version, 13, you might want to contact
    Adobe about the matter. More on that later, once you confirm the above or let me know that I have completely
    misinterpreted your question/concern.

    How can I transfer photos from my Windows computer to my Ipad.
    I already have the photos transfered into a photo stream file.
    How to activate the transfer ?

    Hey Juergen119,
    I would recommend syncing your photos from your computer to your iPad by using iTunes:
    iTunes: Syncing photos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    First, if you want to set it up to work via iCloud, I would check and make sure My Photo Stream is set up correctly on your devices:
    To use My Photo Stream you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5.1 or later
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or Aperture 3.2.3 or later
    Apple TV (2nd generation) with Apple TV Software Update 5.0 or later
    PC with Windows 7 or later and the iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later for Windows
    For complete iCloud setup instructions, visit How to set up iCloud.
    Then, once it is set up, you can upload your photos to My Photo Stream by following these directions:
    PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later: Open a Windows Explorer window and under Favorites select iCloud Photos if you are using iCloud Control Panel 3.0 (or Photo Stream if you are using 2.0 to 2.1.2). Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select the photos to import to My Photo Stream, then click Open.
