RIS cannot generate a unique conputer name

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.advanced_server (More info?)

After entering the username and password the client
installation wizard displays the following error:

Could not generate a unique name for this computer.
The server could not generate a unique name for this
computer.
Please comtact your network administrator for further
assistance.
Administrators should check the remote installation
services settings to ensure the computer naming option is
set correctly. This error may also indicate the computer
naming policy used to create a unique computer name has
reached its maximum number of combinations.

The error log on the server indicates this error:

Event type: Error
Event Source: BINLSVC
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1042
Date:
Time:
User: N/A
Computer: Server
Description: An error was generated by OS Chooser. The
error code is in the record data.

I think I just need to reset the names the RIS server
assigns. How can I fix this?
