    Years ago when I did my first W2K roll out using RIS on a W2K server I had set the 'client computer naming format' to use the LAST 4 digits of the clients MAC address, plus some static text, "STATIC-NNNN". Since then I've changed it a number of times for different reasons. Now I am trying to set it back to what it was but for the life of me cannot figure out how to do it. Everything I read explains how to use the FIRST N number of digits, "STATIC-%4MAC", but I can find no mention of how to use the LAST n number of digits. I have 30+ clients here, all named using the last digits of their MAC address. I know they were rolled out via RIS and they they were not pre-staged, so I know this worked at some point... Am I dreaming here or can someone explain how to do this?
