I hope that someone can help me with my issue.
I started to notice that some of the machines that I have were not installing the configmgr client and that some were showing up in the all devices pool twice, one entry showing installed and active and the other as not installed. I have used a lot of the links and help articles that I have found to try to correct the duplicate SMS UI GUID's and nothing helped. I think that my issue is the amount of Client licenses that my network purchased, but I am not sure how to confirm that.
Do you happen to know how to find out the amount of CML's that are in use and the total that can be allocated from a PS command?
My reasoning that I think that it is a license issue or CML issue is that I have 3 different device pools and adding up the three pools I get 20 windows 7 machines with correct and working configmgr installs. I have a total at this time of 50 windows clients.
What I noticed is that if I run these steps that SMS UI GUID will change, but it will then revert to a SMS UI GUID that is in use by the 20th machine.
Delete the SMSCFG.ini
Run ccmdelcert.exe
Stop SMS service then restart the SMS service
run Tranguid.exe /R
When this happens I can see that it will create a new SMS UI GUID, but then when the service is restarted again or if I wait long enough the SMS GUID will change the new SMS UI GUID to the previous SMSUID and create a new SMS UI GUID with the same number as the 20th workstation.
Now to the point where I think that it is a licensing issue is that if I uninstall Configmgr from a working client I can then add one more existing machine and it will work without an issue. When I try to add in a 21th machine it will not install with its own SMS UI GUID it will use the 20th machine SMS UI GUID.
All of the machines are from a image. I did not install the configmgr client in the image and the image does complete a sysprep after the image completes and I have verified that the machines SID and GUID's are different.
Thank you for any help.
