    It doesn't happen often, but somtimes I will see one PC with the green dot and another one without it and it's the same PC.

    PC1 and PC1

    Yes, click on Search Clients on the Clients page.

    Search Field: Computer name

    Comparison Operator: LIKE

    Value: Enter in the PC name

    Click Search :)

    The problem is all of our PC's start with the same name (First 7 letters). So the like will list everything... :-(

    You can find Duplicated HWID in SQL database

    https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/articles/compilation-sql-queries-sepm-database

    Duplicated HWID query - result shows:
    ♦ Client computer ID and IP address
    ♦ Logged-in user
    ♦ Hardware Id

    DECLARE @TimeZoneDiff int   
    SELECT @TimeZoneDiff = datediff(minute, getutcdate(), getdate())
    SELECT UPPER([COMPUTER_NAME])
       , [COMPUTER_ID]
       , [HARDWARE_KEY]
       , [CURRENT_LOGIN_USER]
       , dateadd(minute, @TimeZoneDiff, dateadd(second, [TIME_STAMP]/1000, '01/01/1970')) as [Time Stamp]
       , [IP_ADDR1_TEXT]
    FROM [V_SEM_COMPUTER]
    WHERE [COMPUTER_NAME] in
       (
          SELECT [COMPUTER_NAME]
          FROM [V_SEM_COMPUTER]
          WHERE [DELETED] = 0
          GROUP BY [COMPUTER_NAME]
          HAVING COUNT([COMPUTER_NAME]) >1
       )
    ORDER BY [COMPUTER_NAME]
       , [Time Stamp] DESC
