What's the purpose of registering them in DNS?
(Seriously, because the answer matters to the recommendations)
If it is so the user can SHARE their drives there are two outs:
1) Use WINS/NetBIOS which typically just works anyway
2) Tell them they must set their machine for this feature to work
If it is for something else we can work through that, but "client"
machines don't always NEED to be registered, do they?
