**RESOLVED** To anyone who is having the problem, here is the root cause and how to fix it: The cause of the problem is twofold: On GX270/280s, the SMBIOS GUID is derived from the Service Tag to ensure that the number is unique.  However, when the Service Tag is not present, a generic GUID of 4C4C4544-0000-2010-8020-80C04F202020, rather than a unique GUID which is required by apps such as SMS/ConfigMrg, Zenworks, WDS, etc. Resolution Two things need to be done to resolve this: For newer systems, its relatively easy to enter the Service Tag, however for older GX270/280 systems, you will need the CD that came with the shipped motherboard in order to change it.  If you DON'T have it, you can do the following: I stress, please follow these steps carefully, and ensure that you verify that the Service Tag is entered correctly
Good Day, Does anyone happen to know if Dell (or anyone else) has a utility to change the GUID/UUID of a NIC?  I have a few systems on my network with duplicate GUID/UUID's and as a result have issues with imaging them via SCCM/OSD. Thanks in Advance!! Terry
