OK I understand the duplicate GUIDS I get when imaging as I believe the person who set up the image is putting the agent on the image, but I went to several machines running Win7 and changed their names, now they are all showing up with duplicate GUIDS? It also appears that what we had set for 2007 is not clearing them out in 2012 - anyone have away to fix these? What I saw was for 2007, so I am sure I am just missing something. Thanks for your time.

as a test on one system with duplicate GUIDs, try un-installing the client, deleting the system from SCCM and re-install the client.

You can include the SCCM client agent on an image, but you need to clean it up. Here's what I used to do (when I included the client in the image):

• net stop ccmexec

• ccmdelcert.exe

• del %WinDir%\SMSCFG.ini /F

Shutdown the workstation BUT do not restart windows (or you need to clean up again). Capture your image.

* CCMDelCert.exe is from the SMS 2003 Toolkit 2
