Sorry for another post but I can't find much with this new interface compared to the old Juice...

I am running DMC (Dell Client Manager) built on NS7. I have imported all my systems from AD.  No problems yet.  As soon as I run a Network Discovery it find half my machines again since they are VM's and adds them as another computer.  So I have about 60 systems that are VM systems and another duplicated 60 systems that are listed as computers.

My jobs start to fail or task don't even start.  I am thinking it is the systems that are duplicate names that they are not starting on?  How do you correct this issue???  If I delete the computer it will come back when the next AD sync.  If i delete the vm it will come back during the next network scan.

Thanks,

Kris

I also noticed some issues. 

I also noticed some issues.  Since this is DMC it is bascilly the Dell plug in for those Altiris guys....  just scaled down for us that can't afford the full version. :)  Wish I could, make life easier. 

Anyway, before I started working here when they started going P2V on a lot of our systems.  They never removed the Dell Openmanage Server software. So a lot of our VM's still have that running on them.  When Dell's client does it scan it see's it as a Dell computer not a VM.  I think that is where it is getting confused?

Is there a way to merge multi machines into one???

Each one of my VM's show up 4 times that have this installed.

I believe this may be the solution to your problem:

I used it a while ago when performing network discovery scans and picking up duplicates.
