I'd like clarifiication regarding creating locations please:
If I create a location with a linked subnet, and then create a child location with no linked subnet it seems that any computer belonging to that parent locations subnet will always reattach itself to the parent location after the 'update network resource location' task runs.
so to illustrate:
Eastside (subnet=none) > Building 1 (subnet=none) > Level1 (subnet=192.168.1.0/24) > Room 1(subnet=none)
If I manually add a computer with the IP Address 192.168.1.11/24 to the location 'Room 1' then it always reassigns itself back to the parent which is 'Level1' (after update network resource location' task runs)
The impact of this, is that I can't do a manual audit and assign computers to sub locations (e.g Room 1, Room2, Room3, etc.) UNLESS I unlink the subnet? because they always return back to the parent subnet. However, once I unlink the subnet, from that day forth, everything will need to added to a site manually!?
This seems to me to be a common issue? Can you please advise smartest way to deal with this issue?
