Hi,
My client is using SCCM 2012 RTM in a standalone site.
Yesterday, a technician was preparing computers to deploy OS. He was in a replace scenario and mistakenly mixed the MAC address of the source computer with the one of the new computer.
So when importing computer information for the new one, he entered the wrong MAC address; the one of the source computer already existing in the SCCM database.
I expected the Import Computer Information wizard to generate an error, but no, the import was successful resulting with the source computer DDR being overwritten...
We spent (and lost) time recreating the DDR for the source computer so we could create the computer association for USMT migration.
2 years ago, I opened a call with Microsoft for the exact same issue with SCCM 2007. At that time, they told me that no hotfix would be developped for this bug since there was a workaround (overwritten DDR will re-create itself with Heartbeat discovery over time) and SCCM 2012 was coming up.
It seems to me that they forgot to fix the issue in 2012. It doesn't seem to be fixed with SP1 as I didn't find anything about it in SP1 doc..
Can someone confirm this bug and can Microsoft do something? Or is there a hotfix already available for it?
Tnx
Patrick
