Engaged Sweeper
We are currently using workgroups and recently a machine has been changed from one workgroup to another. Now this machine has been added as a new machine within lansweeper rather than as a change to the existing machine.
We don't want to delete the old machine as this will delete all of the history associated with it.
Is there a way to configure lansweeper to ignore workgroup name changes? If not is there a simple way to migrate a computers history into the newly created computer in the list?
We are currently gathering our data using the lspush utility?

Thanks

No, this is not possible. Lansweeper uses the combination workgroup name\computer name as the unique identifier for workgroup computers, so it is expected behavior for a new entry to be created when a computer changes workgroup. Lansweeper cannot know that this is the same machine.

Could you contact us at support@lansweeper.com and provide us with screenshots of both Lansweeper webpages that now exist for the machine. Please show us the "Actions" sections of the pages. We will provide you with a script to update the workgroup name on the original entry.
