Only target computers with the UUID mechanism are subject for reinstall after crash (RAC), that is, all 32-bit and 64-bit Windows operating environments and all Linux/UNIX platforms are covered. However, docking devices are excluded from RAC, since they report the UUID of the hosting computer.
RAC on target computers configured using DTS download will fall back to internal NOS-less download. One reason is that packages sent out are staged on the target computer, the disk of which will be overwritten when the operating system is reinstalled. Another reason is that DTS is not bundled with the software delivery agent but sent out as a job.
RAC on a scalability server (including its library) is only possible, if the scalability server is installed from the very beginning. That is, it is not possible to restore the scalability server from an agent installation, since then any delivery records will be marked as removed. Only the part of the library known by the domain manager is restored.
No synchronization is available between RAC for computer and user profile targets. For example, if a user profile job is depending on a computer job, there is no mechanism except using procedure prerequisites.
The job history order will be retained with one exception. For scalability servers, delivery jobs are set up first, then all other jobs. However, the order between deliveries, as well as between the other type of jobs, will be kept.
