Hello everyone,
I work in a university where we work with an Active Directory domain.
I would like to customise Start Menu for AllUsers, actually i've made a GPO to show some tiles we select for the user (My PC, Firefox, Word, Excel, PPT) in two locked groups.
If it's possible, i would like to display the hostname to help the user to indentify his computer for remote assist.
Thank you for the help!

    It is not possible to add the Host Name in the Start menu, however, you may use a tool called BgInfo and it will display names in background. You may deploy it and install it all all devices, take a look at:
