have several _dozen_ PCs that need to be converted to a new naming
convention.
isn't it just a registry entry?
cygwin cannot control remote registry entries (besides ssh'ing to each machine), but the win32 tool regedt32.exe can, and there's a COM API.
you only have to check out how to script that via COM (Visual Basic, perl Win32::OLE, pythonwin, ....). very easy.
