[sims] Solus 3 and Computer Name Changes

[DrBeaker]

I know this is an old thread but AFAIK still as of Feb 2019 this hasn't changed. This is the way I've been told to build machines and "reinstall" SIMs.

If I remember rightly all I did last time was remove the Computer from solus, delete its old entry from DNS and then add the new machine in solus and all worked fine. Give it a try.

All the more reason to dump SOLUS 3 and use PowerShell to deploy SIMS/FMS. Happy to supply my script if needed.

 

SOLUS 3 is, and has always been, user-hostile rubbish for client deployment. Fine for updating and patching servers, but useless for clients.

It is somewhat nuts that when reimaging a machine, you have to go and delete it - Then redeploy the agent/SIMS apps out after.

 

For Sophos, I just have an install script that checks if sophos is already on the machine and runs the deployment if not. Picks up reimaged machines without fail every single time. In conjuction with the auto deploy/sync built into enterprise console it just.. works

 

Solas is a heap of garbage.

If only SIMS was web based... oh wait...
