Automox UUID Generation Guide

Are there multiple devices with the same Automox UUID?

Are there devices that exist in your organization that share the same UUID? 

Perhaps the best-kept secret is how these UUIDs are generated. Please note that the differences between devices must be less than 40% for all variables:

const HARDWARE_ID_UUID = 'uuid'; // windows
    const HARDWARE_ID_MACHINE_ID = 'machine-id'; // non-windows
    const PROCESSOR_HASH = 'processor-hash';
    const MEMORY_HASH = 'memory-hash';
    const BIOS_HASH = 'bios-hash';
    const SYSTEM_HASH = 'system-hash';
    const HOSTNAME_INFO = "hostname-info";
    const IP_ADDRESS_ID = 'ipaddress-info';
    const MAC_ADDR_INFO = 'macaddr-info';
    const DISK_INFO = 'disk-info';
    const MINIMUM_MATCH_PERCENT = 40;

Steps to resolution

• There are multiple ways to address this issue. You can perhaps change the hostname
• Change the machine-id of the device
• Change the BIOS UUID by obtaining special software that executes this (on physical devices) or change it yourself if you're using a VM.
• Linux example:
  

  sudo rm /etc/machine-id
  
  sudo systemd-machine-id-setup
