Hi,

I've several machine in my networks.
Some machine appear and disapear in the Ventuz Configuration Editor. In the combobox the identity of some machine change for an other one regularly (every 3 seconds).
That make impossible selection of one specifc machine as long as the switching occur. Some time the name of one machine change is reseted...

How do you identify machine in the network ?

Hi Robert,

Every machine has a so called SystemID that is gernerated based on several ID's of the machine. If you are working with cloend windows images and the same hardware it can be the case that multiple machines generate the same. The described behavior indicates excatly this. To solve it you have to add a special Reg Key that overrides the SystemID.

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ventuz Technology\Ventuz]
"SystemID"="MACHINE 123"
Just replace the SystemID field with a unique name across your machines.

Regards
Daniel
