RIS, change machine name during pre-installation

Installing and configuring an OS on a machine using RIS can be done using several methods. The method I want to use does not happen to be the Microsoft way. I want to get done that the machine name can be specified right after the username and password. However, when I verify if the name is used I have specified before, I find that that name is not used. Instead the naming convention specified by the RIS server is applied. There is a way to overrule the naming convention set by the RIS server, but I lost the documentation how it is done. The naming for servers can differ from the naming for workstations, these settings have to be changed on the RIS server. How do I overrule the settings specified by the RIS server? The changes have to be done mainly on the .osc and the .sif files.
