RECLAIMED MACHINES GROUP? BEST PRACTICE?

Hello, 

Does anyone have a best practice in place to create a group for reclaimed machines that may be temporarily unmanaged before redeployment. Smart Groups will not work if the machine is unmanaged and Static Groups could get tricky if I need to remember to remove them from a static group before redeployment to a new user. I would love to have a group listed someone in my instance that compiles all of my reclaimed machines, rather than keep an excel spreadsheet as I go. Work smarter, not harder, ya know? Any ideas on this?

 

Thank you!

I have a Department named Inventory for this. You can set the Department of a computer while it's unmanaged and set your Smart Group to look for that Department. Hopefully, that's enough to get you going. Let me know if I misunderstood you.
