Nothing has changed with this in as long as I can remember. You simply delete the cert, nothing more, nothing less. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sccm/core/clients/deploy/deploy-clients-to-windows-computers#a-namebkmkclientimagea-how-to-install-clients-with-a-computer-image for details.
The client auth cert is the client’s identity card, thus changing it changes its identity which in turn forces it to regenerate any unique IDs and GUIDs.

Current Branch Hi Folks, Our vm team is asking us about putting the new CB sccm client in the gold image. I’ve been told that removing guide and cert isn’t supported anymore. I’m wondering what you folks do with regards to vm gold images.
