I could see this happening if the client was included in an image, then copied over to other machines without proper sysprepping.

They should be creating unique GUID's automagically.

I've always thought you had to remove the certificates in the registry in order to change the GUID. If you look at the WMI class CCM_Client in root\ccm, you'll see two fields for GUID. One is PreviousClientID and the other is ClientID. If you delete smscfg.ini and restart the service, the field PreviousCLientID changes, but the field ClientID does not change. You can also look in the control panel and see the GUID not changing there.

Have you tried just stopping the service, deleting smscfg.ini and starting the client back up? For those interested… I ended up opening a case with MS as I was unable to put together the right combination to solve the issue on my thin clients… Here is what we ended up with that will get you a new GUID copy %WINDIR%\smscfg.ini %WINDIR%\smscfg.old start /wait c:\windows\ccmsetup\ccmsetup.exe /uninstall del %WINDIR%\smscfg.ini "%~dp0ccmdelcert.exe" "%~dp0ccmclean.exe" /all /q start /b /wait \\server\share\test.cmd<file:///\\server\share\test.cmd> the last line is simply calling ccmsetup with some params to reinstall cm client From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Denzik, Josh Sent: Monday, August 11, 2014 3:35 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [mssms] Duplicate Client Guids Does anyone have a good way of fixing clients with duplicate SMS guids without having to re-install the client? -Josh ________________________________ Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail is from a law firm and may be protected by the attorney-client or work product privileges.
