Unknown Computer Support in ConfigMgr R2 Explained

Steve Rachui's did it pretty good job providing a nice overview of the new unknown computer support in Configuration Manager 2007 R2.

One of the new features in SCCM 2007 R2 is support for OSD deployments to 'Unknown' Computers - computers that do not exist in the SCCM database. This is a feature that did exist in previous releases of OSD (SMS 2003) but was removed for security and safety reasons. There are specific environments where having the ability to image 'unknown' computers is beneficial so it was again added to R2.

In his next post he also goes in to the nuts and bolts of this new feature deepdiving into the log files explaining the communication between client and server.

Both post hold great information.
