Rerunning windows 7 OSD advertised TS

[20stilme10]

we are in the process of testing a windows 7 inplace upgrade using SCCM, and an advertised TS. On some test machines, i can not get the advertisement to run again when readvertised to them. I have deleted registry keys that were suggested to delete on the client machines, but they still do not see the advertisment after repolling policies and going to run advertised tasks. Any suggestions how to get them to rerun? i am running out of machines to break... lol

did you try deleting the computer from SCCM and then add it again using computer association

in the process, of trying to delete the computer, i accidently deleted the all systems collection. so now i dont know if this is why i am not able to reassociate the computer by using the computer association, as that computer is not showing now in intended collection.. i have already tried reapply SP2, and the collection is still missing.. any ideas on this one?
