      How many devices are we talking?

      A spreadsheet in Sharepoint might do the trick.

        @Hubtech What I would like to do is to setup a site where users can actually book the device and also track who has the device currently. Renaming might not work, as it doesnt stays with one user for long. It just keep changing. @scottalanmiller we have just around 10 devices, but everyday I could here people looking for the device and checking who has it currently! 🙂

            @Hubtech We don't have Sharepoint yet, but planning to setup one. Sounds like a good idea

            I have one of my old HP server which just got retired from production as we moved to a new server. I might be able to reinstall it and test! hmm something new to work on!

              Creating a site and users can actually login and log their device name is a great idea.
              In our ISO practice we are using our logbook. sounds odd but it works great.
              we use this logbook for asset and device management for our (USB Stick, Portable WIFI, and USB Externals)

                You could just use Sharepoint Lists. You don't even need Excel. Sharepoint can expose SQL Server directly and it is super simple to use.

                  @scottalanmiller Could you please advise if I could use 8GB RAM sever for SP 2013? As per MS docs it says it needs 24GB RAM.
                  Am starting to learn SP for a future project and would like to implement this resource booking system as part of my training as an initial project. I have 2 old DC HP servers with 8GB RAM each. Thinking about how well could I use these servers for my SP training and testing.

                    It depends on your installation scenario

                        24GB of RAM is a ton. For a small site 8GB is more than enough.
