This issue has been solved. See solution.

I turned on a computer and let it go to the Initial Deployment menu.  I'm in testing phase so I realized that the job I wanted wasn't listed and I shut the computer off.  I then deleted the minint-GARBAGE computer from SMC to get it to go back into Initial Deployment.  I even verified the MAC address to ensure I deleted the correct one.  However, the computer will not go into Initial Deployment, acting as though it's still recognized.  I tried searching by MAC and ensured the computer did not exist.

Thoughts?

Hi SaintFrag

In my test environment, after deleting the minint-xxxxx, restarting the netboot services in the right order and updating the configuration did the trick, so my minint-xxx would receive initial deployment again.

 

Second test, after deleting the minint-xxxx and updating the configuration the minint-xxxx received initial deployment.

Yes, that worked.  Not ideal, but it worked.  :)  Thanks!
