using SCCM 2012 RC in a LAB - Part 9. Adding an Application, editing a Deployment Type, Copying the Deploy Task Sequence

[snghoshi]

Hi,

 

im following your steps, great posts - thanks and i have a question to ask.

 

I see we are importing a new computer into the collection and using the mac address into the deployment task sequence now what happens if you pxe boot another pc (different mac address) will it not go ahead format and install?

 

im asking this thinking that any other user might pxe boot (even accidentaly booting from the network and format) or the pc with the entered mac add will be the only pc that will be formated and install?

 

Thanks

In that case, simply only deploy to known computers. Create a collection specific for OS deployment and add the machines that need to be re-deployed to that collection and make sure they get removed when the deployment is finished.
