I would be inclined to make it a 'latch preference'. It should do the scan on first startup on a new platform and then never again unless the user asked or the image is started on a new machine. How to tell if an image was last run on that machine or platform is left as an exercise for the implementor. :-) But that would be the most useful behavior.
