I'm still a little new to SGN, so maybe this is easier than I'm making it.
I am running SGN 5.50.8 and it's synched (manually) with our AD environment. The way I understand this then is when a machine is deleted from AD then SGN deletes it in inventory as well. My question is three parts:
1) How do I STOP a machine from being deleted from SGN when it's been purged from AD?
2) Can I undelete a machine from SGN (bring it back into inventory) without it existing in AD?
3) What happens if a machine is deleted in AD, but said machine checks back in with the SGN server later? Will it still get the policy I gave it previously, or will it default to my root policy as if it was new?
Basically if a laptop is reported lost / stolen I want to lock it down through SGN and then ensure that even if that machine waits 6-12 months to go back on the internet it will still get that updated policy information (lock all users on machine, change it to a special Lockout Policy that forbids Guests, etc). At best the computer will remain in AD for a couple months following the incident but sometimes our admins are too proactive and delete it very quickly. I don't want that to affect my ability to lock down that computer should it ever report back in (which it will if it goes on the internet).
Thanks
