Multiple machines with the same name are displayed

Possible Cause:  If the DNS names are being duplicated, the DNS server might return the same names for more than one machine.

Action:  From ConsoleOne, check if the IP addresses of the machines have the same names. Check if the DNS server is returning the same DNS names for the different IP addresses using NSLOOKUP. Correct the configuration in the DNS server.

Possible Cause:  If you have used Imaging to install NetWare servers, the same names are displayed even if the server names have subsequently changed.

Action:  Perform the following tasks:

1. Specify the IP address of the server.

2. Specify the SNMP READ/GET community string.

3. Select the MIB-II variable sysName in the system group (iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysName).

4. Click Tree Walk.

   If the same name is displayed for all the servers, set the correct name using the MIB Browser for each server and wait for discovery to refresh the information during the next cycle.
