We don't register our client desktops in DNS because in some computer labs we reimage them every night. Plus we don't not use Windows DNS service but rather Linux DNS. We use WINS to help resolve our client desktops. Is there another way I can get the client desktops discovered? Would network discovery work in this case?

Does anyone know if there's a work around for discovering client computers when they are not registered to DNS? For my method of discovery I have enabled AD system group discovery, AD security group discovery, AD system discovery, AD user discovery, and heart beat discovery. So far the only thing that is discovered are my servers, users, and group security. It fails to discovery my desktop computers in my domain OUs. Is there any other way I can get them discovered if they are not register to DNS? I can ping and resolved the desktop computers via WINS from my SCCM site server. As far as I know everything is installed and configured correctly on the site server. Site system status are in the green. My system info below. Single site primary mixed mode SCCM 2007 R3\Windows 2008 R2 Schema extension applied Boundaries are set to AD type My desktop computers are mixed Win XP/7 32/64bit
