Actually, we completely reset the PC and wiped it clean, and built the PC from scratch. However, the automox console is showing the pc with the old hostname. How can I clear this up?

Hello, 
If the Mac address is the same, it can do this sometimes.

  • Did you remove the endpoint from the console before reinstalling the amagent? 
  • Has the endpoint scan completed yet?
  • And I’m sure you’ve already checked this one, but can you double check the PC hostname on the endpoint?

Thanks, scanning the machine fixed it.
