Novell POLICY IN DESIGNER 3.5 - 09-18-2009 Manual page 498

The order of proposed names is tested as follows:
Each pattern is tested in the order specified. If counter-use="always" and the pattern is one of
the patterns indicated by the counter-pattern, then the pattern is tested with a counter;
otherwise, it is tested without a counter.
If no unique name has been found after the patterns have been exhausted and counter-
use="fallback", then the patterns indicated by the counter-pattern are retried with a counter.
If all specified combinations of patterns and counters are exhausted, then the action specified by the
on-unavailable is taken.
