Additional Information
Up to ZENworks Configuration Management 10.3.1, when selecting the Master Primary Server to start the TFTP replication, the selected server's host name was searched for in the sql database to find the device GUID to store it in the respective TFTP replication configuration entry in the database (settings.tftp.title entry in the zSystemSettings table). In case an inventoried device with same host name as the primary server existed in the zone, that device's GUID could be picked instead of the one from the Primary Server devices object. In such a case a wrong device GUID was stored, and the TFTP replication never starts.
Since ZCM 10.3.2 and 11 the Primary Server device GUID is directly set instead of searching for the device host name in the sql database.
