  • 1.  Search for machines that have agent installed.

    Hello,

     

    I've been running into a new problem that is really anoying.

    I've been running a PXE server, and deploying images on a few new computers.

    After the image is deploy, i deleted most of these "New Computers".

     

    2 Hours later, i completed all installations and i want to try a few new things with these machines.

    I couldn't find a way to find these computers, so i reinstalled the agent, after the agent is installed it doesn't show up in the console.

    I have checked both firewalls and made sure network detection is on. (i can find the machines and install the agent)

    It looks like you can never re-add a machine you once managed.

     

    Is there a way to add these computers back in the list?

     

    Greetings.

    make a saved search in manage computer to search by the serial number and search for the dell service tag or HP/IBM serial number.  

    If the machine never made it to windows and just was in winpe, check for minint- DS will often add computers that have communicated via winpe/bootwiz and give a random minint- computer name.  Once you find the old machine, delete.Then send a basic inventory on the new computer for it to show up in the DB with the new name.
