Re-installed computer issues/advice please

[nry]

We've been using SCCM 2012 in production since July this year. The only issue we've really hit so far is when a computer OS fails and it needs to be re-installed. We first did this without touching SCCM, however we found that SCCM did not pick the computer up and install the client software (and Forefront) as previously worked when the computer was first commissioned. We did a manual client/Forefront install and SCCM does now show the computer, however none of the allocated applications have gone on. The next one that needed rebuilt we deleted the computer from the AD and SCCM before re-joining the computer to the domain (same computer name). Again, it did not get picked up by SCCM. Is this expected behaviour or are we missing some steps somewhere?

Has anyone got any thoughts? This is pretty much the only thing within SCCM we now have to 'suss out' in our school, the rest of it appears to be working superbly

When I ran into this issue I had to manually update my collections. Just fyi if you manually install the forefront client it will not report back to your sccm server.

I'm now testing OS deployment via MDT/SCCM, as the two stations we've had fail we just used the restored factory image - we'll see if this sorts it out or not After sorting the appropriate Windows NIC driver package out it is now just installing Windows Updates as part of the deployment process so I'll soon know if it is working correctly We'd tried manually updating the collection but even then, the station never picked up correctly.
