Two computers wuth the same name

Toxo

I have two computers with the same name but in different workgroups. When I installed the first ine it appear in the console without any problems but, when I installed the second one, the first one disappear from the console and now i can't find it.

I thought the console identified computers by their IP address. Am I wrong? Will I have to change the name of one of the computers?

Thank you.

    Thank you for your help.

    I'm using the compname parameter for registering the computer with a specific name. Now all the computers are in the console.

    But a new problem arises. I am checking the new installed computers with the EICAR virus. When I receive the email alert I don't get the computer name that I used for registering. I get only the computer name. I mean: I have two computers registered as WG1\PC1 and WG2\PC1. The computer name in the email alert is PC1.

    My question is: Can I customize the email notification to add a parameter that identifies the computer, such as the IP address, workgroup\computername, ...?

    Thank you again.
