sstephens 0 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I recently started a roll out of new PC's for the office and I decided to use a new version of the eset client for the server. I got everything setup and it all looked good. As a started with my deployment I noticed none of the new PC's would show up in the console but one. One of the first PC's I deployed is showing up and none of the other computers I am deploying are. Any computer that is not using my image shows up normally as its own computer though. As I started getting security notifications I noticed in the path given was on a bunch of different machines in varying people's user folders. All of the computers are reporting as the same one. I have tried re-installing with no luck. C:/ProgramData/ESET/RemoteAdministrator/Agent/EraAgentApplicationData/Logs/status.html shows green for every category. DNS is working fine and I am able to resolve all the computers correctly from my computer or the server eset is running on. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,074 Posted February 4, 2019 Administrators Share Posted February 4, 2019 Were the new PCs cloned from a single image? In such case, they would have the same ID and would appear as one machine. For information how to handle cloned machines with ESMC, please read https://support.eset.com/kb6910/.

sstephens 0 Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 The computers were clones from a single image. I tried following the instructions but after i click into the computer information, the hardware tab is greyed out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinni3 21 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Its all because You installed ESMC agent before clone. All You have to do is uninstall/install agent, it will get new ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESET Staff MichalJ 434 Posted February 5, 2019 ESET Staff Share Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) If ESMC server is in use (and not older ERA 6.5 & older) it should report section "questions", where duplicated entries will be reported. What kind of computers are those? Cloning detection is based on various HW identifiers, including SMBIOS ID, which might not be correctly set on self-assembled devices (but should work reliably for common vendors like Lenovo, Dell, HP & others). If you have used the ERA 6.5 agent, the only thing I can recommend is to use "reset cloned agent task". Edited February 5, 2019 by MichalJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
