I've noticed that if we re-purpose a machine, say from VMware to Windows that the old MAC and IP info stay associated with the record.  The only way to get a fresh start is to manually remove that info.  It would be cool to be able to select a record (or multiple records say a chassis worth) and have an option to clear that info out - like how I can create a re-importable export.  If possible clear the OS info, too.

  Hi Tim,

  We recently added intelligent life-cycle events in v5.9.1: http://blog.device42.com/2014/08/lifecycle-event-actions-and-spare-parts-alerting-with-v5-9-1/

  You can add an event called re-purposed and have it clear all connectivity and all IPs when that event is  added to a particular device. You can choose what actions to take when that event is fired, only thing missing is clearing out the OS. We will discuss that internally.

  Thanks.
