New Hosts after upgrade

Mick

Heya,

 

Im working in PMC(10) on updatating virus definitions (from 9.10 to 9.32) for an subdomain of 11 computers and i noticed something abit strange.

 

What im doing:

When going under "installation" and 9.10 "upgrade" and choosing new package 9.32 and setting url for PMS and "Randomly generate Global Unique ID" -> uninstall conflicting.... -> "Ask user before restarting"

This is the short config setup im using. And then finnishing, im getting that its upgrading F-Secure Client Sec... from 9.10 to 9.32 for domain XXxXx..

 

Im getting 0 failed / 1 in progress / 10 succeeded , this looks great right. (few days later)

 

But the 1 computer that is "stuck" in progress is showing up under "new hosts" and if i import it and have a look it has the new updates 9.32, policy = Not latest. (UID is not the same)

Then if i remove the old one (the one that is in progress" so i dont have duplicates) then the new one gets updated policy (after a short while). Why is this happening? I mean its 1 computer of 11? I´ve seen the same thing happen in other subdomains aswell. Had 3 computers "getting stuck" and showing up as new hosts while around 20 others worked great on a diffrent subdomain.

 

Anyone got an idea?

Solved it myself.

 

Problem had to do with me using randomly generated GUID and not SMBIOS Global Unique UID. And the reason why only some computers where affected was that they where running Windows 7, Xp computers updated fine with no problems.
