Situation
When attempting to discover a machine, the discovery job fails with a message stating that the machine has already been discovered.
Resolution
This message is likely to occur if any of the following scenarios is true:
- The machine contains a network adapter (or similar hardware device such as a Remote Access Card)
that contains the same MAC address of a machine that has already been discovered - The machine being added was previously discovered under a different hostname
- The machine being added was previously discovered under a different Domain/Workgroup
To resolve the issue, remove the previously added machine entry before attempting to re-discover the desired machine.
