asset management
I have the following query about asset management.
What happens when we replace a machine with a new machine, but then re-use the same computer name and then change the old computer to a new name. For instance, I have an XP computer named TERM8000 which I then replace with a new Windows 7 computer and name it TERM8000. But then I take the XP computer and change its name to TERM5000. Would the history and information of that same physical XP terminal be able to follow it to the new name? What does it use to be able to recognize the computer as being the same one if it's re-imaged? And if they use the MAC ID to track individual PCs, then what happens if we have to change the network card?
