HARDWARE table, duplicate entries

Hi !

We have OCS 2.1.2 on one Linux server, with 1300 Windows clients spread on 50 subnets.

This new server is deployed on sept 2014.

From this date, on the pc we are deploying OCS Agent 2.1.1.

Now we have 1250 pc with the latest Agent, the other pcs using still OCS Agent 2.0.4 ( INI file updated, pointing to the new server ).

In the last days we found 65 duplicated pc : same hostname, different IP address :

SELECT IPADDR, name FROM hardware GROUP BY IPADDR HAVING COUNT( IPADDR ) >= 2 order by name

In the server config, AUTO_DUPLICATE_LVL is "hostname, serial, MAC address".

We changed none of these parameters on the clients.

So why does OCS create duplicate records ?

Best regards, Sala
