Anyone with an Apple network: I'm having a problem I haven't had for the last two years. Here's the scenario: I image up a laptop for a kid, enter his machine record (Ethernet MAC address) into WGM and put that computer into the proper management groups.Everything works dandy, laptop getting proper management, ARD interacting properly with the laptop.Then, something goes wrong with that laptop, and I need to give him a loaner.I remove the computer record for the old laptop from WGM, create a new one for the new machine, put it in the proper management groups, and image a new machine for him.Now, although the kid can login and sync, and management is working fine, ARD refuses to interact with the new laptop at all. It shows up in the list under Scanner, but if I double-click on it, absolutely nothing happens. Sometimes the laptop shows as offline with a black icon, even though it's running and on the network. If I do a Get Info on that laptop, there is no Login and Password shown in the Info screen. The two laptops had the exact same image, both deployed with Casper. This has happened in every case where a person has had to switch laptops. After the switch, I can't access the machine through ARD. Something about DNS I don't understand, perhaps?
