Device Name Sporadically Changing ZENworks Agent Properties

I'm having a problem with a few Dell Windows 7 machines using ZENworks Configuration Management (ZCM) 10.3.4 client.
The problem is the device name, in the ZENworks Adaptive Agent Properties, is sporadically changing and reassigning with other device names and sharing the device name with another computer.
All the machines have been built from a single image, using R-Drive Image software, with the ZCM client already built-in to the image.
In attempt to resolve the problem, I've uninstalled the ZCM client, CASA as well as deleting the device name from the Zenworks Control Center (ZCC).
Re-installed the ZCM client and again received a different device name of a different workstation.
I've already tried using Zenworks AgentCleanup tool to remove the ZCM client and deleted the device name from the ZCC, but it did not resolve the problem.
I can only assume the problem lies within the image compiled with the ZCM client. How do I stop this from continually happening and make the ZCM report the correct device name and if possible, without having to create a new image?

Hi,
Are you seeing multiple IP addresses and Mac addresses for a device listed in the device list? You can apply the following steps to fix the issue:
Step 1: turn off each device
Step 2: go to the device list and delete the device that is showing the multiple ip address
Step 3: turn on each of the devices one by one and once it's showing in the device with a single ip address, add the device in the DHCP reservation list.

Multiple Device Names

Once I upgraded to Yosemite, I noticed in Finder that my device name would change and under the Shared section, there was multiples of my computer. In Devices, it shows COMPUTER (2) and then Macintosh HD. The number changes all the time as well. Under Shared, I see COMPUTER, COMPUTER (2), COMPUTER (3) and COMPUTER (4). There is no way to delete them and I think it's the reason I am having difficult Wi-Fi syncing my iPhone 6 and iPad to iTunes. Can someone offer a suggestion on how to make my computer only have the one name (as it did in Mavericks)? Thanks.......

Experiencing the same thing. Have tried everything to rectify the situation, but my computer name and local addressing keep changing. Be sure to log the bug so Apple can get this fixed: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

Changed (renamed) device name in Intune app on iOS device. This change is not showing up in the admin portal, even after 24 hours

Hi,
I am trying to update a mobile devices names. Initially, I changed the iOS device name (Settings->General->About->Name) and then I also renamed the device in the Intune app on the device. Neither of these changes are propagating through
to the admin portal, even after 24 hours. Is there anything else I should be doing for this to work?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Simon.

I'm seeing the same thing as Simon, I changed the iOS device name in both places on an iOS device and the name in the Intune console is still "iPhone" which is really unhelpful as I'm sure you can imagine. Is there some other place
that we should be going to rename devices so they are more easily identifiable in the Intune console?
Thanks!

How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my old iPhone.

How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs without affecting my iPhone 5? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my current iPhone. iTunes won't let me change the device name for the 3gs. I just want to use the old iPhone like an touch.

Hi littlemansa,
If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you are returning to an old iPhone that has been erased and you would like to set it up as a new device without restoring from a backup which would affect the name of your iPhone, as well as the contents therein. I have an article for you that can help you set up your iPhone as a new device, and that information can be found below:
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4137
Basically, it seems like you may be stuck on a screen that is asking if you would like to restore your device from the backup that is filed under the name of your new iPhone, or if you would like to set up the device as a new device. I would suggest that you set it up as a new device to achieve your desired results.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

How to change device name in Windows Explorer

Hi Guys
I need some help please, my Ipad 2 was updated on another friends machine. now when i plug it into my PC windows picks it up as his device name even though the devine name is corect in iTunes. Can anybody please help with correcting this?
Thanks

I have the same problem, and I can say none of these methods work.
I have the device named properly in iTunes (it's the same name I can see in settings -> general -> about), however the original name given to the device is still seen in Windows Explorer.
Apparently it is some unexpected "feature" Apple has forgotten to take care of.
Let's hope they change it in the next iOS update...

Change Android Device Name Using RD client - Is it possible?

Hello guys, i am having a problem.
I configured my RDC on windows server just fine, i can acess it through ddns.net without any problems.
However, i have some software installed on my windows server that only works with pre-authorized PC-NAME ... so my question is, where or how can i change my android device name whenever i use the RDC app?
Whenever i try to start that software i get the message "unable to open program ... D5803_4.4.4 not authorized to open it"
(D5803_4.4.4 is my android device name) ... how can i change this?
thanks!

Hi,
It seems there is no such way to change the RDP client name.
Thanks for your understanding!

Set or Change Device Name in Profile Manager

Hello,
Is it possible to set or change the device name of an enrolled device using profile manager?
I notice WGMs old 'Set computer name to computer record name' is still there under Login Window options, but I couldn't find away to actually change the record name.
Am I missing something obvious?

The only way I have found to change the device name in Profile Manager is to change it on the device itself, then wait for the updated info to reach PM.
The option to "set the computer name to computer record name" will set the computer name to the name of a computer record that matches in Open Directory (based on MAC). This option would allow you to change the device name in Profile Manager in a round about way... change the computer record name in OD, wait for the change to make it's way to the computer, then back up to the Profile Manager. In my experience, this doesn't take too long.

How do I change device name after connecting to old machine?

That's right, I've gone ahead and connected my new power book to my old dual G5 in order to get the information onto the new machine.
Now, my new machine has my Dual G5 name as it's device name.
How can I change this so my power book has the correct name?

I wish that was it, but that only changes the name of the "Hard Drive", not the actual device name.
In other words, when browsing the network there's 2 computers with same name.
Any other suggestions?

How to change logical device names

Hi, I would like to change the logical device names for an external StorEdge. Booting into single user mode from a CD and deleting everything in /dev/dsk/ and /dev/rdsk/ as well as the path_to_inst file and then reconfigure booting doesn't work. Solaris remembers which physical device name was allocated to which logical device name. Haven't been able to find any info on how Solaris remembers this. I've thought of booting into init S from CD and renaming the logical device names but I would like to rename them to the next available controller which is c3 and which is probably already "reserved" for the unused onboard SCSI controller. Does anybody have any info on this ?

somewhere there is a page..
Sure !

How to change device names?

This questions revolves around three V490s.
- All are connected to the same raid.
- All have cards in the same slots.
- One box had only 1 internal drive, two came with 2 internal drives.
- All have stmsboot enabled.
- When doing a format, 2 boxes show the paths to be the same (ie, c6txxxxx), 1 box shows the path to be different (ie, c4txxxx).
How do I go about changing the device name so that the c4txxx on the one box matches the c6txxxx devices name on the other two boxes?
- I have inserted a secondary drive into the 1 box, rebooted with -r. No difference.
- I removed the path_to_inst, rm c4txxx* entries from /dev/[r]dsk, and rebooted with -ras options. No difference.
- I manually edited the path_to_inst to use same device numbers (entry in 2nd column) as is used in the other 2 boxes' path_to_inst files, rm c4txxx* entries from /dev/[r]dsk, rebooted -r. Still no difference.
- I tried using a path_to_inst direct from one of the 2 boxes that have the matching device names. No difference.
I'm quickly running out of options. The device names are supposed to be the same for the Oracle ASM application. Anyone have any ideas or experiences they can share concerning this matter? Thanks.

In single user mode, edit /etc/path_to_inst and renumber the device.
You probably want to halt and do a boot -r after this.
The best way to figure out which lines to change.
Run format and note the device path for the controller in question.
Then search for that line in the file.
This is all completely unsupported and at your own risk. You might want to experiment on a test server before doing it to a machine you care about....

Device name already exists changed to

A couple of months back I upgraded my SLES 10sp1 servers to SLES 10sp2 using ZLM. My ZLM server is running SLES 11 and version 7.3 of ZLM. My SLES 10sp2 servers are running the ZLM 7.3 client. When I look in ZCC under the Hot List it shows my main ZLM 7.3 SLES 11 server with a warning status for almost all my hosts. When I click on that to see what is going on the Event log states: Device name already existed, changed to MYSLES10HOSTNAME while attempting to register host: MYSLES10HOSTNAME I clear all these events and later on they are back. Sometimes the same ones sometimes others. I currently maintain about 200 servers using ZLM and the Event log has 44 devices with this message. What setting do I need to change or delete? Or better yet what do I need to do to correct this behavior?
Thanks!

This happens normally when you register one host against the zlm server, stop zmd, delete the deviceid and secret file, start zmd and register it again against the zlm server without deleting the existing device in the zlm web interface.
What happens at this time is that the zlm client registers with the deviceid and the secret against the zlm server. In the web interface you see the hostname of it. If you open the details, you see the guid of the host which equals the deviceid.
When the zlm client communicates with the zlm server it uses the deviceid and the secret to login and query the bundles, catalogs and policies assigned to it.
So now when the zlm client is stopped, the files deleted, the zlm recreates them the next time it is started. After registering against the zlm server, it tries to login with the new deviceid and the new secret. There is already such a host entry, therefor it renames one and register with the new values again.
Do you have maybe a cron job or something that deletes those files and restarts the zlm client ?

How do I change the iPod Device Name?

Thanks for the prompt reply! And of course it was something as simple as that...

Mac os 10.7.5 device name changing

Hello all,
I use an external USB drive to do backups using SuperDuper!, and after the backup under devices in finder, I see my 'Macintosh HD' listed but its name continually changes to 'MBP-MID2010 BKP' (name of external drive) and then back to 'Macintosh HD', is this normal? And I see finder using lots of CPU too and I don't think I have seen this before. I have a MBP mid-2010 and running Lion.
Thanks

This does not sound normal. You need to either 1) boot into the Recovery Drive or 2) boot into your Clone and run Disk Utility > Repair Drive AND Repair Permissions.
It's possible your drive is starting to fail.
Boot into the Recovery Drive by holding down Command R when restarting.
Boot into clone by selecting clone in System Preferences > Startup Disk
If the drive is having problems, it might recommend you erase and reformat the drive. If you are satisified that SuperDuper did a full clone of your data, you can select to erase and reformat the drive. Use SuperDuper to clone back to the empty internal drive.
