Kingen Posted November 29, 2012 Report post Posted November 29, 2012 This is great, will save this for later. Do you have any screenshots from the TS GUI? What happens if you re-install a computer does it get the same name that it had before, or does it get a new name? //K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpieniaz Posted December 2, 2012 Report post Posted December 2, 2012 Hey , The screenshot from GUI is available along documentation here When you reinstall computer SCCM uses current computer name so you do not have to worry about that - however your task sequence would need to distinguish new installation from reinstall ( I use collection variables for that one ) If you have any questions just send me a message - happy to help out R Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
