1. A method of resolving duplicate network node identification in a centralized server managed distributed computing system, the method comprising: scanning network nodes to obtain a network node information record including a UID from each network node; processing the network node information records including the UIDs through a series of business rule filters to determine if there are duplicate UIDs; generating an updated duplicate UID table for new duplicate UIDs; and installing a new UID on a network node, if the network node's UID is found on the duplicate UID table;
