uuidutil

Use the uuidutil program to manually change the UUID (Universal Unique Identifier).

Every discovered computer in Bravura Privilege is identified with a GUID (Global Unique Identifier) and a UUID. The UUID is generated at initial registration time and saved:

  • push-mode - the UUID is a string version of the GUID

  • pull-mode - the UUID is the hostname of the computer.

    In the case of pull-mode, a discovered computer could become re-purposed and have its hostname changed; however the UUID will remain the same. If another computer is added using the original hostname, then two computers will have the same UUID, causing a conflict. Use the uuidutil program to manually change the UUID, which will resolve the conflict.
