Not possible via GPO. 3 solutions come to mind, you can either roll your own
provisioning system that enforces your rules and require the techs to use it,
pre-create the accounts centrally with compliant names and just let them join
them or buy a 3rd party solution that has logic/rules baked in like what Quest
calls Business Rules in their Active Roles product.

Subject: Forced Computer Naming Convention
Good Morning,
The field techs have not been diligent with sticking to a
systematic naming convention in the past. Is it possible to somehow force a
naming convention onto computers joining the domain, using a GPO or something
along those lines? We would like to force the name to begin with the regional
location such as "phila-test-01".
Thanks!
