Duplicate Roaming Clients in Dashboard Continued
Greg Gelman
Similar to
and the merged post in that thread:
We still see duplicate macOS devices which leads suspicion that agents are not using any unique identifiers tied to a host? I recently uninstalled the package on my own device, reinstalled it and now theres an offline host and an online host in my inventory. How do we ensure that the 'Clean Up Roaming Clients' feature knows which host by hostname to clean up if it only shows 1 host out of the duplicate roaming clients and does not harm the other host which has the same mac address for example?

Not really, this seems like an oversight by the original developers. Why not create a config file and just make a hash of the serial number + MAC address to uniquely identify a system. It would allow easy re-adoption of offline agents while ensuring the values are unique enough to that particular machine that they are extremely unlike to be reproduced.
We've seen this same behavior in our environments.

Maybe this is more of a technical support question.
