This has to be done on the Primary Server
The solution is to add each MAC Address of the USB Adapter to the list of Mac Addresses to be excluded from Data Discovery. Solution to Ignore SCCM Duplicate Hardware Identifiers Using SCCM 1606 or prior SCCM think that’s the same device and your device don’t receive the Task Sequence. The problem is that MAC Addresses are unique identifiers of network interfaces but when reusing the same USB to Ethernet adapter for multiple deployments, your MAC Address is not unique. When computers are not imported, SCCM will use their Ethernet MAC Addresses by default.It’s unique to the device and SCCM uses it to recognize imported computers SMBIOS is the GUID stored in the device’s BIOS or UEFI.SCCM uses SMBIOS to identify computers and fallback to MAC Addresses if SMBIOS is not available.Causeīefore heading to the solution, we’ll explain why this was a problem in previous SCCM releases : Following a UserVoice idea, it has been fixed in SCCM 1610 and it’s now easier to ignore a particular MAC Addresses from an OS deployment. This issue could also apply when trying to image Surface devices using the Docking Station. A USB adapter is needed because the devices lack a built in Ethernet port. Prior to SCCM 1610, you may had an issue when trying to image multiple Surface or ultrabook devices using the same USB to Ethernet Adapter.
