New Servers Appear Under "All Computers" Instead Of "New Computers"
Article: 20000005
Applies to: All releases
If a server is deleted from the Deployment Console and then immediately powered
on so it PXE boots to the Deployment Server, the server may appear under
All Computers instead of New Computers. The reason is the
Altiris PXE service maintains a data cache
to speed communication with PXE clients. The PXE service may not be able to
clear the cache fast enough to clear a deleted server from its list of known
computers. The PXE service therefore recognizes the server as an existing
server instead of a new one.
To resolve this issue, either:
| • |
Wait a few minutes before powering the deleted server back on, |
| • |
Clear the PXE service cache by restarting the PXE service before powering the deleted server back on, or |
| • |
Move the new computer from All Computers to New Computers. |
