If you want to take over or replace the old laptop clients with new laptops automatically after reinstalling the package, configure the dForceClientOverride additional setting.
However, when you reinstall the package on a new laptop that has the name of an existing (old) laptop client, both clients are displayed in the Web Console. But, the new laptop is renamed by appending ___(n) to its name. For example, laptopName___1.
Additionally, if laptopName___1 already exists then the new laptop name would be laptopName___2.

To the CommServe computer, add the dForceClientOverride additional setting as shown in the following table.
For instructions on adding the additional settings from the CommCell Console, see Add or Modify an Additional Setting.

0 or 1. Value = 0 (default): users with CommCell level Administrative Management rights will trigger the rename of the new laptop client during reinstallation. You will see two entries in the Web Console: one of the new client, and another for the old client. Value = 1: Users with CommCell level Administrative Management rights are given permissions to reinstall the laptop package on existing laptop clients, completely replacing the old laptop client in the Web Console. |
