Linux PC appearing twice in SEC

VladGuan

Hi All,

We have a Linux (Fedora) PC with Sophos installed. It is part of a Windows AD domain (via NIS) and is placed in an appropriate AD group along with other Linux (CentOS) Servers. Now, the question is why are the following happening:

1. fedora-pc appears in correct group in SEC but its icon is greyed out (unmanaged).

2. fedora-pc.my.domain appears in unassigned group and is managed and up to date.

The instance in the unmanaged group reappears if I restart the sav services on fedora-pc after deleting it and the instance in the AD group reappears if I resync with AD.

The SEC I am running is 5.1.

Cheers,

Vlad

    The machine itself and AD disagree about what the machine is called.

    AD thinks it is called  fedora-pc

    The machine thinks it is called fedora-pc.my.domain

    SAV reports the name that the machine thinks it is. AD reports the name it thinks the machine is.

    SEC thinks there are two unrelated machines: fedora-pc and fedora-pc.my.domain

    The solution is either to make AD think the machine is called fedora-pc.my.domain, or, more likely, make the machine think it is called fedora-pc
