Will running the same subscription file more than once on al already registered computer have a negative impact on the behavior of Prism on the computer or on the server?

Situation: the subscription file runs at computer startup and only if the folder c:\program files\Prism Deploy does not exist. If I delete a computer from the channel and run the subscription file again manually, the computer gets registered again.

Because our administration is unfortunately not up to date, we have a lot of computers that have polled the channel quite some time ago. My idea is: if I delete those computers from the channel but accidently delete too much, this would not be an issue if the subscription file is ran again automatically at the next startup, because the client will get registered again. I can easily modify the startup script but this would also mean that the subscription file will run at every startup on computers that are already registered.

One thing to be aware of, however, is that deleting a computer from the channel does not uninstall the client or remove the folder where the client is installed. It simply removes the registry information that subscribes the client to a particular channel. This means your script wouldn't run on systems that already have the client but are no longer subscribed to the channel.
