Deploying managed client to currently unmanged users

This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hi, All -
We've just installed SEPM and are trying to figure out how deploying works.
Most of our users already have SEP11 or SAV10 installed as unmanged users. Most are XP.
When I try to deploy via Find Unmanaged Computers the software installs correctly, but the computesr aren't added to the Clients list. When I manually added them to list and try to scan or update them, I get "clients have not yet connected to server. You cannot . . ."
Do they need a restart?
Do I have to uninstall the unmanged client first?
Should I use the Deploy wizard instead?
What's the trick?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the replies.
Does this mean the default 32 and 64-bit install packages don't have the proper communication settings?
How does the Deploy & Migrate wizard differ from an install via FInd Unmanged Computers?
No , that is not case , they
No , that is not case , they have they have correct commuincation setting. But when a Client is installed and if we push a new pacakge , the new pacakge gets installed but the commuincation settings is not changed, it keeps the old setting. So while creating the new pacakge we need to selcet Remove all previous logs and policies, and reset the communication settigs

Its the same thing, however
Its the same thing, however in Migrate and Deploy wiz you can deploy with a exported packages.
Fine Unmanaged computers use built in packages.
you can deploy the same thing using FInd Unmanaged computers as well. Just add those client install settings and then go to Find Unmanaged computers search for clients then scroll down and select the client install settings.
They have proper settings but once you have a client install as unmanaged it will have its won communication settings. so when you deploy the package it will only upgrade the client but not change its communication settings so a unmanaged remains unmanaged.

"Remove all previous logs and
"Remove all previous logs and policies, and reset the communication settigs" was the trick! Thanks!
