When I look at my servers and PCs in the GSM management console, I have some devices listed as both, Not Seen Recently and Protected.
What's happening & how can I fix it?
Thanks.
Same device listed as Not Seen and Protected

These might be what we call "duplicates." This can happen for a few reasons listed but not limited to the following:
- The agent is installed onto a new system that's been given the same hostname, therefore showing two entries with one not seen recently.
- An OS or other large update causing the way the agent identifies and fingerprints the system causing a duplicate and again the old one not seen recently.
- An agent was uninstalled but NOT deactivated, causing two entries and the old one not seen recently.

or it could simply be an issue I have been experiencing for over a year now. The agent simply quits talking to the GSM. Then you can’t uninstall it because it thinks it is managed. You can’t move it to an unman-aged group because it isn’t communicating with the agent. Nice Catch-22.
