Renaming on SMS
I have a workstation on AD and in a collection, lets call it NOT123. This laptop is up-to-date. When I renamed the computer, to NOT246, all updates which were previously successfully installed, are now being reinstalled. Speaking with Microsoft, I am told that once a new computer name is placed into a collection, a new SMS GUID is created. Because of the new GUID, all updates get pushed.
Any ideas how I can prevent the reinstallation of those updates?

New computer name = new client machine.
For new client machine there are no informations about installed software/updates in database.
Updating computers in SMS is a hard work, it is better to use WSUS -> this tool examine update status for any machine, reinstallation of updates is not possible. And its free:)
SMS duplicate funcionallity of wsus, and it is worse tool.
You can add a rule into collection, that client machine with YYY KB can't be a member of collection.
