It sounds like the question is:
What is the proper method for adding a new
machine (new image, reimage, whatever) to the domain using a NetBIOS name
that already exists in the domain?
Reset the machine account and then add the
new machine (what Jorge said). In a single site you should have no
issues.

Maybe you
should explain a bit more as I still do not understand what you want to
acchieve!
You have
said: "The reason for reimage
is for new departmental standards ( look and feel ). " --> this sounds like
creating a new configuration and image
You have
said: "you want to re-image
pc's that are domain members. You want to immediately rejoin
domain using same name."
Explain
why you want to re-image the EXISTING PCs and rejoin them. How are you thinking
to get the new look and feel by doing this?

* When distributing
restore the image.... SYSPREP runs.... Enter a
computername (if it an existing previous computername reset the computer
account in AD), join to domain et voila
Computer names will be existing. My original question was do
I remove from domain then image and rejoin or image and reset account.
Are you saying to image, reset account then rejoin, and will
this work given the site structure?
