I really don’t like the idea of advertising a TS that could re-image a computer. I decided to just make a new OU and target my TS to that OU. So if someone needs to reimage a computer, they need to first move computer object into this OU.
Works like a charm, thanks all for your help.

Can it be done in SCCM 2007? If so, maybe a deployment to All Systems is just what you need to get that upgrade started!

That’s how we’re doing it in the 2012 system we’re setting up now, seems to work like a charm." I wouldn't ever recommend anyone do this unless you have reallllllly tight control (permissions) over SCCM and ALL the techs working it know it well. All it takes is someone setting that advertisement to "required" and then all the computers in your domain will be re-imaged. Granted there is a safety net there with PXE/Boot Media option, but if a computer reboots and has PXE enabled, wouldn't it boot to PXE and begin the image installation? My recommendation is to give the lower level technicians access to delete machines in certain collections. SCCM is designed to be used by everyone from end-user to the highest tiers of support. You can lock many things down with permissions. We package the SCCM console and push it to all our techs in the IT department. They have the console, but can only do what they have permissions for. Another method and maybe a safer one if the above scares you---SCCM 2012 supports PowerShell commands. Create a service account with permissions to delete objects using the Remove-CMDevice command and script it.

Rather then have them contact Sccm admin every time they need to reimage, I just use wds to deploy the base image. It would be great to use SCCM always. If anyone has an automated way around this issue, please let me know.
