Simply password protecting the boot media is not sufficient? Did you set the registry key value that should prevent you from needing to clear the PXE request? (Or maybe I misunderstood that comment)
Have you considered doing this with a web service such as Maik's? It would handle your requirements in full I believe.

Using a web interface............ We don't allow rebuilds without some monitoring, therefore to restrict a customers ability to F12 rebuild we use collections. We populate the collection via a webtool; simply adding the computername does not always work as the record it adds is only from AD discovery and has no MAC address. So the tool populates the collection, but the F12 doesn't work. I'm trying to check if the record that is about to be added has an entry for a MAC, and if not prompt for it's input. Better?

One of the tasks it presents to our Tech's is to add a machine to the collection that can then F12 rebuild. Despite trying a status filter rule to trigger the clear pxe method, it never worked and I ended up with a Task Schedule running every 5 minutes that does work. This all works well, until we import a record that is incomplete, i.e. missing the mac address. So in this case the box has been pulled from a cupboard and the only details sccm has are from the ad discovery. In this case the record is added to the collection but as there is no mac, the f12 fails. What I'd like to happen is this: a) at the time of running the script to add to the collection, we query the record for the mac and tell the operator whether there is one or not. That alone would be useful, of course if we could then enter the details to import it that would be better. I haven't looked at doing this at all, I thought I'd ask first before re-inventing the wheel, in case somebody has anything already.
