Hi,
You should not use site codes more than once in a SMS 2003 hierarchy for active sites. If you have uninstalled a site that was publishing site data to AD in preparation for installing a new SMS 2003 site with the same site code, you should:
* Ensure that the previous site’s information is removed from AD * Remove all references to the original site from all other sites in the hierarchy, and clean up any objects previously replicated to potential child sites of the new site. If you do not do this, any newly replicated objects from the new site could overwrite objects previously replicated to the child sites.Bechir Gharbi.

Hi,It is never a best practice to re-use the sitecode. Even if you remove the AD objects clients are still not aware of that. You will face assignment and communication problems with your clients.Follow me through my blog and Twitter!

Not to mention what it can do to advertisemetn status. If you had previously created an advertisement and sent it out and you create a new one on a new site with the same site code it could potentially have the same advertisement ID. The client would think it ran it before and ignore it. John Marcum | http://www.TrueSec.com/en/Training.htm | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jmarcum
