Re: WORKSTATION RECYCLING

how long would it take for the obsolete data to vanish? I'm concerned
someone will run a report and get inaccurate info based on this cycle.

How's about moving away form Ghost and looking into the SMS OSD?
But...if you have AD system discovery enabled, and push installalation
enabled, then once the machine is discovered, the client should install.
The "old" data/info will become obsolete and aged, and get deleted via the
SMS delete tasks.

The policy I have set in place on my network is that we put workstations
through a recycle of sorts when a user leaves the company. When this is
done we use Ghost to make a full backup of the machine and use the same
tool
to put a clean image back on the hardware, run Ghostwalker, etc. etc.
All
workstations always keep the same name (i.e. DELL123) and we simply reset
computer accounts in the AD. At times the computer will be moved between
OU's based on the department the user works in.

I'm using the advanced client, via push install on all workstations and
given the scenario above...what would be the correct process to keep my
site
database correct and a functional client on the machine? The client gets
installed AFTER the machine is imaged and appropriately added to the
domain.
Would SMS be smart enough to perform an install/upgrade on the machine
and
update the database accordingly if I trigger the installation? Lastly,
if
the previous sentence is true, what would happen to software inventory if
for example the old user was using Project 2003 but the new user didn't
need
it therefore it was not installed after the machine was rebuilt?
