Rebuilding PCs

[LithiumKid1976]

hi
we sometimes rebuild our machines here, and as they are all "asset taged" we use the asset tag, as the pc name.

so, how long will it take for lansweeper to see that the pc now has a lot less software installed on it, as its a clean build?


or should we be removing the pc from the database 1st before we start the rebuild?
hope that makes sense.

You could create a report that searches for duplicate MAC addresses or service tags.

would it be possible to have a report like "suspicted duplicates" and have a reconsile function? where the report will pull up sysstems that are suspected to be the same, then the user would select two or more, and lansweeper would reconcile the older entries into a single most recent entry.

You could remove the pc first or launch a "lstrigger" after the switch.
