modifying computer name

I want to modify the computer name (the one used on netbios) before the
configuration is read by netbios.
I alreayd have a service that does this and I have created dependencies on
this server for services such as netbios helper, ipsec, tcpip, etc. So in
theory those services dont start before my service runs and changes the
values on registry, yet my machine name only gets changed on my network
places the next time I reboot showing the value cahnged to the previous
reboot time! does any one know how I can make this changes before those
values are read by whoever reads them?
I know this might not be the best newsgroup to post this at, so please tell
me which newsgroup might be able to help me most.

Thanks
