consolegroup INP setting does not dynamically update the clients group membership

I need a solution

On thin clients running windows 7 (specifically HP t5740e and t610):

After imaging I want to specify the group in the aclient.inp (I am using dagent so I know that I need InstallDir setting in there at the very least) file so that when a thin client gets re-imaged by my techs, the client automatically goes to the right group in DS (6.9 SP5)  Our clients get re-imaged quite often due to changing functions and "kiosk types" and it would be great if they could dynamically update the group they belong to. 

However, almost all of my thin client agents exist in the database already.  Modifying the aclient.inp ConsoleGroup setting, throwing it in the Dagent install directory and restarting the service does not update the client's group membership in DS.

Unless, I delete the client's account in DS.  Then and only then will the client's group membership take on the settings that I had in the ConsoleGroup setting (which I found is just a registry key that gets written on the client)

My question is, can I create a job based on a condition or what have you that can delete a client so that it then essentially self-updates?

If not,

Can I tell deagent somehow to force and update on its group membership?

Thank you for any suggestions.
