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

GROUP BY SMBIOS_GUID0, Name0

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.

Phil, where's the SQL to pull out those unique GUID's and display make & model. 
Let's create a shame list!

I seem to recall Todd posting something a long time ago about having this issue 
when Dell comes to replaces motherboards in desktops/laptops.

Still happens Phil - even with on-board NIC. Normally can be solved using the 
Banned GUIDs registry key.

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
