Explanation: If you are using ZfD Automatic Workstation Import or Workstation Management to register workstations as Workstation objects in your NDS tree and you use the default naming process for creating the Workstation objects (Computer name plus MAC address), you might see a near-duplicate Workstation object name created for a workstation after it has received a new image.
Possible Cause: The reason for this is that the workstation is being registered using the Computer name that is embedded in the new image that was just laid down. The imaging agent does restore the original Computer name (or a new, policy-defined Computer name if the workstation is brand new) to the workstation's registry. However, because Windows caches the Computer name before the imaging agent runs, and because the Workstation Manager agent runs shortly after the imaging agent runs, Workstation Manager queries Windows for the Computer name and gets back the Computer name that Windows has cached, which is the one embedded in the image that was just laid down. This results in the workstation being registered in NDS as a Workstation object with the same Computer name as the workstation from which the image was taken, but with a different MAC address.
Action: There is currently no automatic fix for this problem. You can manually rename the Workstation object in ConsoleOne (this won't cause any problems), or you can delete the new Workstation object and let another one be created automatically later (when the changes made by the imaging agent have been propagated to Windows).
