Environment

Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2

Situation

When a device has both a wireless and wired adapter, and both are enabled, the inventory scan picks up the IP and MAC addresses properly.  When one of the adapters is disabled, the inventory scan does not pick up the IP and MAC address of the disabled adapter, which is working as designed.  However, the remaining adapter that is enabled has its IP and MAC addresses picked up and placed into the IP and MAC address of the adapter that is disabled.

Resolution

This is fixed in version 11.2.4 - see KB 7012027 "ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2.4 - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at https://support.microfocus.com/kb/doc.php?id=7012027
