If the machine gets an IP by DHCP, the server registers the hostname in DNS, independent of the client machine running NM or not. If the hostname is specified in DHCP_HOSTNAME. Without access to the server's logfiles it would be difficult to find out what your problem is... Unless you can sniff the DHCP packets, or make a local setup with your own DHCP server, not connected to the rest of the network.
