Changing Computer and AD Description to logged in user?

As subject really.

Let's assume I have various OU's full of workstations, and at present
all the Active Directory description fields are empty.

Can anyone help me out with how I could update both the Active Directory
Computer Description and the computer description in the properties of
"My Computer" to something like "Joe Bloggs, Department X" where the
username and department are those of the user who has logged on
(assuming the users department is populated on his AD account).

I'm looking on Google but as always there seem to be a million
suggestions on the best way to do this.

Thanks in advance.

It's easy, see below. But I don't think anyone has solved the problem of the
fact that these changed values don't show up until the PC has been rebooted.
