Zenworks window keeps going blank

Question

Hey all,
Running ZCM server 10.3.2 and agent version 10.3.2.41992
Bundle Management 10.3.2.1088
Content Distribution point 10.3.2.948
Image Management 10.3.2.335
Inventory Management 10.3.2.647
Policy Management 10.3.2.7941
Remote Management 10.3.2.893
User Management 10.3.2.948
Our zenworks window on various windows 7 32bit SP1 devices keeps going blank (drops off the zone If we re-register the machine, it works again but this keeps happening across random devices, both desktops and laptops
The laptops use wireless most of the time but occasionally use ethernet connections too. our DHCP leases are for 1 day
I had a look through the logs and the logs give this message most days:

Answer 1

Lost Registration is something that I used to see now and then, but seem
quite uncommon now on current code, though I dont recall any specific
bug/fix.
Below are a couple of scripts that can be called from login scripts to
address a couple different registration issues.
Script to Fix Duplicate GUIDs.
================================================== ============================================
@echo on
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('type "%zenworks_home%\conf\deviceguid" ^|
find /i /c "57228a9d13075b4ab0fedcd55d4b5d6c"') DO SET act=%%A
if %act% == 0 goto :nothing
zac reg -g -u administrator -p secret http://192.168.1.111
exit
:nothing
================================================== =============================================
Script to Fix Unregistered Devices
================================================== ===========================
@echo off
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('zac zc -l ^| find /i /c "Role:
CONFIGURATION"') DO SET act=%%A
if %act% == 0 goto :zacreg
exit
:zacreg
zac reg -g -u administrator -p secret http://192.168.1.111
================================================== ============================================
