Thanks Gerry et al...good feedback. For those of you with time on your hands on a Friday afternoon..this should give you a list of duplicates.
Of course, we're far too discrete to name and shame on here, but if you did happen to come up with the vendor name on the devices and forward them to me, I will send round some big guys with baseball bats on your behalf :) Have a great weekend Phil SELECT Name0 Name, SMBIOS_GUID0 , Count(SMBIOS_GUID0) AS SystemCount FROM dbo.v_R_System GROUP BY SMBIOS_GUID0, Name0 ORDER BY SystemCount DESC From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gerry Hampson Sent: 07 August 2015 13:40 To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] RE: Quick Poll - Duplicate SMBIOS UUID Issue in OSD I've seen it happen (maybe a year ago) with batches of new PCs out of the box. It's a bit lazy of the vendors really. Sometimes updating the BIOS helps.

Let's create a shame list!

Normally can be solved using the Banned GUIDs registry key. Gerry From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Phil Wilcock Sent: 07 August 2015 13:03 To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [mssms] Quick Poll - Duplicate SMBIOS UUID Issue in OSD Hi folks, Just a quick one - anyone still having issues with PXE booting due to duplicate SMBIOS Guids these days? I know it was an issue in SCCM2007 but just wondered if anyone is seeing this or if it was fixed at some point. Specifically thinking of Tablets/Laptops which might be built from a USB NIC etc. Cheers Phil Wilcock 2Pint Software http://2pintsoftware.com<http://2pintsoftware.com/> @2pintsoftware<https://twitter.com/2pintsoftware> ________________________________ Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail is from a law firm and may be protected by the attorney-client or work product privileges.
