Greeting the mosque (Tahiyyat al-Masjid) is a according to the majority of scholars, not an obligation. Performing Tahiyyat al-Masjid once is sufficient, and there is no need to repeat it if the person entering has not left the mosque's outer fenced courtyard. However, there is no harm if one does repeat it.
