Remove Duplicate Host IDs

If PC-Duo Host has been deployed using an imaging tool, and one or more Hosts are not found by the Gateway, you may have a duplicate HostID problem.  In this case, the Gateway recognizes the first Host machine with the HostID but ignores any other machines with the same HostID.  To resolve this situation, PC-Duovides a utility called RmHostID; it appears in the PC-Duo Utilities file.  The RmHostID utility runs on one computer and searches one or more computers for Host installations that have a specified HostID.  If a matching HostID is found, the HostID is deleted and the Host Service restarted so that a new ID will be assigned.  This utility can be used to “clean up” Host installations with duplicate IDs on a LAN.
