Name servers using emoji for easy memory

Windows will accept emoji as system names, making them easy to remember. Examples:

📗 = Active Directory Server

💩 = DHCP/DNS Server

📧 = Email Server

📦 = File Server

This also keeps you safe as attackers won’t be able to type your hostname into their outdated Unix consoles.

Disable two auth in Office 342 (MFA never seems to work there) and impose a password policy which can only consist og emojies.

EDIT: I see this is a bloody old post and now I feel like a peasant for commenting on it. I'll just use DNS as my excuse for my sillyness.

If you're running a recent version of Windows 10, just press Windows + Period. It opens the emoji panel.
