Duplicate client names

Question

I have a question about duplicate client names. If I have a computer that already has the SCCM client installed on it and then that computer gets reformatted and a new setup on it with the same name, SCCM doesn't seem to notice that they client needs to be reinstalled along with the other packages assigned to it. How do I configure it so that the SCCM client will install even when it seems a computer with the same name in its database? I'm not using SCCM to push out OS images yet. I'm hoping to move to that system but it probably won't happen until the middle of 2012 (too many other projects right now).

Hi,

The old client record will be obsoleted, I normally use a script and the feature to handle conflicting records. It is described here: http://ccmexec.com/2011/03/merging-obsolete-records-in-configuration-manager-2007/

Regards,

Jörgen
