Finding and Removing Duplicate Computer Names

Daniel Brownson

Is there a method to find duplicate computer names in SEC easily? Finding I have to go through each one of our groups and go down the list and eyeball them, which takes a long time with 30+ groups and 6800+ clients. How is this not a built-in feature

    Hi,

     

    Is this not supported "fix" still the only option? We have 76 duplicates of machines that definitely have Sophos on (and in some instances are servers) yet they are appearing twice. Deleting both entries from the SEC make them disappear for an hour and they the AD sync happens and they are both back. The greyed out one shows the correct OS info, but the "connected" one shows it as unknown.

    Its getting a little tedious now :(

    This is a known bug with SEC.

    I had 609 duplicates which was about 20% of my endpoints.

    Worked with support to delete all 609 endpoints.

    For anyone having this issue, it would be best to go thru support so they can log another customer that is having this issues and to have them run all SQL query to clean it up.

    One of the reasons this happens is the AV is installed on the endpoint before it was joined to the domain. And the other is the wind changed direction.

    Do you know what the queries they ran are? Interesting how they see and know that this is a bug, but won't come up with a more complete fix.
