How do I make a minor name change to all my client computers

How do I make a minor name change to all my client computers
Submitted by spaulding on 27 June, 2008 - 08:42.

I need to append a "F" to the beginning of the existing computer name for all the computers on my deployment server. Should be easy, but I haven't been able to figure it out yet.
I'd appreciate any help.

Just as an FYI, it's to identify any dead computer acounts in AD. For whatever reason the AD search capability isn't reliable.
Thanks

I cant think of an easy way to apend that to a bunch names via a job. It would be pretty easy to write a query on the DS database though that showed all computers that hadnt reported back in x amount of days which could tell you what was "dead". Just a thought.
