A better solution IMO would be to deliver the machine in which the drive was imaged to the user, remove their computer and recycle it. At the VERY least you are going to have to rename each machines (assuming your TS doesn't prompt for a computer name). Once the client sees that it's in a new machine it's going to generate a new unique ID and this is all probably going to wreak havoc on CM for a day or so.

They have 2012R2 Secondary site / DP local to them, using PXE, with the TS advertised to the Unknown Computers collection. They have a bunch of machines that they want to re-image from XP to 7 that are all the same model. What they want to do is to buy new hard drives, image that drive, take the drive out of that computer and put it in the destination computer. They then want to re-use the initial chassis to re-image another drive, and so on. To keep the TS available for unknown computers they will need to delete the newly registered client out of SCCM after each image, right? The client should re-register itself with the new MAC, I assume. I am not a big fan of this, but I may not have a choice in supporting it. I am trying to think of any issues that I may come up against that I will need to solve. Can anyone think of anything that might be a show stopper, or that I may need to watch out for?
