Uuid and machine reassembly

[Ekouyoja]

Hello,

After a recent deployment, I realized that some PCs are not showing up due to an identical UUID.
Not having paid attention during the deployment, I didn't note the IP addresses of the missing machines.
My question is therefore: is there a flexible way to address this issue, perhaps with a script that could be deployed to all machines?

Sincerely.

Good morning

So normally the behavior that should occur now is that the stations that have the same UUID should replace each other in the console

On the machines in question (it's often the same range of machines) you can do the following:

Code: Select all

wapt-get generate-uuid

Or a WAPT package to apply as identical posts are reported:

Code: Select all

def install():
    WAPT.generate_host_uuid()

I know this topic is a bit old, but I did use this solution. However, there's a problem: you can't deploy this command to all workstations, otherwise you end up with duplicate entries that need to be deleted one by one, which can cause problems with a large network.
In my case, more than thirty workstations were affected :'(
