Duplicate host names map to a single entry on the System Tree. Because of an ePO limitation, it is applicable to all types of assets, including:
- VMs, Hypervisor-Hosts
- SVAs
- Guest introspection VMs
The issue can occur when there is more than one computer with the same DNS name or NetBIOS name. The issue can occur even if they reside
in different domains and have different domain extensions.
Examples:
- mycomputer.connector.com
- mycomputer.trellix.com
When these two computers are pulled into ePO, the
first VM is added, and the
second VM gets rejected by the matching criteria.
NOTE: The properties of the second computer are added to the first computer because the two are considered to be a single system.
