Hi guys;

I have the next trouble:
the machine that was in the microsoft updte tool, microsoft update tool sync and microsoft update tool (pre-production) had HW problem and I couln't rescue it...

In the sms console I erased that machine from All System collection... so, that machine was erased in the another collection...
My question is, how I could fix my ITMU collections? How can assign the new machine to those collections, that of course the "new" machine has a different ID but it has the same netbios_name.

Please help me!

You can add it back to the collections by using direct membership or query base, but here you have another problem you put the same netbios name but is not the Same Client UID. I suggest you use another netbios name not the same one as the other machine, unless you can recreate the UID on the SMS Client . INI File.

Best Regards,
Santos

...oh fine!
So, how could I create the UID in the .ini file?
Which is more easy and functionally? Change the netbios-name to my machine or recreate the UID??

I recommend that you should use query based membership if possible. If you re-build PCs with same NetBIOS names, it should work if you need delete obsolete SMS clients for the same names - but you will lose their memberships for collections if direct memberships have been used.

Please take notes on collection memberships and/or re-create them by using query based membership and then delete the obsolete SMS clients.

You just need build PCs with same names and install SMS clients on them next time. And then delete obsolete SMS clients for the same names. Everything should work.
