Implications of re-using server names.

In our environment we have a group that routinely changes the names of servers. Then later on they will create a new server and give it the original name of the one that was renamed.

This seems like a bad practice to me but I would like to confirm that if possible so I can explain it to them. One thing I suspect is related is that we have seen computer accounts lose their secure channel to AD and have to be rejoined to the domain.

Thanks for any insight on this.
