The other name is coming from the client itself.

At the start of a session the client says to the server "give me the
'NSR client' resource for 'clientname.domainY'".

The server is looking up its resource database (the stuff in /nsr/res)
and doesn't see any mention of a client (or alias) with that name and
so returns "not a registered client".

As others have said, add it as an alias.  This is much easier than
getting MS DOS fixed.
