When using RIS, if I image a machine I can give it a dynamic name. For example, Denver001, Denver002, etc. So if I'm imaging 4 machines they will all get new names based on what's available in the domain 001, 002, 003, 004 etc. I see in the Deployment workbench that i can assign a unique workstation name to a location, which is great, but I'd like to also give it the sequential number afterwards, so all workstation in Denver get the "Denver" prefix and a number assigned (001, 002, etc). Is there a handy little trick i can use to have a workstation get a sequential name like Ris allows me to do? I can run a script to rename it, it just seems obvious that there probably a way to do this in BDD without needing custom scripting.

see http://www.server-management.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=335&Itemid=62

scroll to the bottom and read the Favourite names section.

It discusses a method of using a stored procedure in the BDD database to generate names.
