Hello,

We recently added a second RDS 2012R2 server to our environment, and for simplicity, we cloned it. However, WAPT doesn't like this because the UUID is the same for both servers.

The reset UUID command doesn't work because both virtual servers use the same BIOS UUID. I would like to use the `use_fqdn_as_uuid` function, but I don't know where to configure it. I tried `use_fqdn_as_uuid=1` in the agent's INI file and `use_fqdn_as_uuid=true` in the server's INI file, but it makes no difference.

Thank you in advance.

That's right:

Code: Select all

use_fqdn_as_uuid=1


in wapt-get.ini in the global section

Next:

Code: Select all

net stop waptservice
net start waptservice
wapt-get register
Note: only compatible with version 1.5 of Wapt.

Hello,

thank you for the information. Following the migration from v13 to v15, I was modifying the wrong configuration file...

It's resolved.
