WAPT agent on multiple computers with the same name

Hello,

I installed the WAPT Agent on several computers with the same name. The problem is on the server side; I only see the last agent installed (all with the same hostname). Is there a setting for this, or is it a bug? Thank you.

The MAC address is different. Can this be used to differentiate the terminals?

I'm using WAPT version 1.5.1.18.

Regards,
Ioan

Regarding your position: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1043

It seems to me that you have identified your problem.

For your information, a machine is identified by its BIOS UUID

It is normally unique to each machine. This allows machines to be identified in WAPT by machine, not by name, but by UUID. This is the unique differentiator.

Unfortunately, sometimes certain manufacturers do not respect this rule.

This is where the command comes in

Code: Select all

wapt-get generate-uuid
