Accept Client Name

Speciﬁes whether the server assigns names to client machines according to a

policy that is established on the server by the system manager.

Even when this capability is enabled, the server ignores the client-suggested

name if it is already in use by another client in the same domain.

If the server is unable to ﬁnd a name for the client by applying this policy, it will

take one of the following actions depending upon the speciﬁed value. The valid

values are:

False: Assign a name from the NAMEPOOL. ﬁle if an IP address lookup does not return

an associated name. Default.

True: Use the name the client suggests for itself, if speciﬁed.
