With the now never-ending required OS changes from Microsoft and the constant re imaging and renaming machines, I am wondering if anyone has developed a workable solution to the 45 day expiration requirement of an Ivanti license seat. While Ivanti has been helpful and provided me with some temporary seats, I can see where future upgrades and replacements of machines will become an issue.
We want to patch a machine as soon as it is on the network, this of course requires it be given a name that hopefully it will keep for some duration, but often is not. When systems are swapped out, say a workstation for a tablet to the same user, the name changes to reflex the machine type, and using another license.
I am looking for methods to better control this, even if it means retraining techs and changing procedures, but wondered if anyone has had success with a specific process for such a moving target.
