Doesn't think that the network or server machine is a different machine, so it keeps everything in sync. Failure to use the NSR Prep LB tool could lead to the networker lockboxes being inaccessible after a change of the operating system level of the network or server, as Networker no longer recognizes the server as being the same machine.
