How to find Client ID

[billybarty]

For some reason we have 3 entries for the same system in our All Systems collection. I am trying to determine which is the proper entry by looking at the SMSUniqueidentifier property and try to match it to the local machine. I am unable to find where on the client system this info is stored. I looked in smsuid.dat and none of the 3 systems match this ID. Any help?

Personally I'd just delete all 3 of them and Heartbeat will find the right one, update a DDR, and put it back in the databse itself.

Of course if you need to do something via sms in the next couple days that might not be best...

Do you check for duplicates?

I found the ID in smscli.ini file and deleted the incorrect ones. You mention checking for duplicates, is there another way other than looking in the database?

that will tell you in detail how to deal with them..


If you have a lot you will notice your sms servers speed up big time when you remove them
