If you have direct membership rules set against a devices ID rather than name, and a client comes back eventually with a new identity, then sure it’s bad. Queries can mitigate this a bit as well as setting direct membership rules using the device name and not the record id, but there does need to be a point where you decide if warping a tool into becoming a quasi-Asset-Register without it being designed for that purpose is a good idea; If you need to keep records to track devices over their life time you’d use an Asset Management tool to do it.
Just ten cents of mine so to speak, Robert From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: 08 January 2014 15:53 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [mssms] RE: Console Auto-cleaning My main point is, I wouldn’t ever want a device to age out of ConfigMgr and not require a manual touch from a tech (IE needing to rejoin to the domain) If bob puts his laptop in the closet for a month, it shouldn’t age out that client.

My site was set to deleted aged clients after 7 days (which, after this break, we have decided is too short of a time). My question is, when computers show back up in config manager (as they have been), will they retain collection membership? We have software deployed to collections and the HelpDesk assigns the machine as a direct rule to the collection to assign software. Will these clients need to be re-added or will they show back up in their appropriate collections? Thanks, Gary
