I am using SCCM 2012 SP1 and I wanted to handle the situation where I need to keep rebuilding a small
group of machines where the machine name is is promptNed for via a HTA.
The nature of oursituation means that they could put in different names.
I am not sure yet the names will match a pattern so for the example we will assume they don't.
After the machine is built I want to be able to rebuilt the machine with the same OSD task sequence.
(As available not mandatory).
Now from how I understand things if my target machine is based on Name then I could run into trobuble
and the best solution is to base it on a range of MAC (Ethernet) Addresses obosolite = false.
My objective here is to always have the machines match the collection and be able to get the
task sequence deployent when ever it is requried.
Questions:
Are my assumptions correct will this approach always work? Is this the right way to handle this?
I am curious what others have tried?
In general if I have a fully built machine recieved policy and populated a collection targed once
again by a specific name - so lets say MachineA. Now lets say I take the machine off the domain.
Rename it then join the domain again as the MachineB.
Can I assume in this synario the machine will drop out of the collection because the name changed?
Thanks,
Ward
