Reset Successful Deployment Indicator
pjwright
We have a package that deploys on a heartbeat schedule to an Inventory dynamic collection. If a machine gets that package, but then goes through OSD, we need the package to deploy again.
The issue that we run into is that although the re-imaged computer gets correctly placed into the dynamic collection, Deploy never sends the package to it again - I'm guessing because it shows it already succeeded.
Is there a way to reset the flag that shows it as a successful deployment so that it will deploy again with heartbeat? Or is there something else I'm missing?

I'd just clear the "Stop deploying to computers once they succeed flag" on the package. That way when the machines go through onboarding again they will get the package again.
I started to reply why that's problematic, but then finally got over that last hurdle. I was thinking that we don't want the app re-deploying on every heartbeat, but since it will drop out of the dynamic collection, it won't keep installing.
I wasn't thinking all the way through, or at least clearly enough. Thanks for getting me there!
No problem. We do a similar thing with our onboarding in that they get added/removed from a dynamic collection so it works well to clear the flag. Glad to help!
One of the new features in Deploy 10 is the ability to delete a computer's history from all schedules on the Computer History tab so you don't have to touch each schedule and delete the computers.
