The Agent in uplook system is identified based on a unique GUID code (Globally Unique Identifier). As the agent is installed, a new GUID is created for a certain key in the registry. As a disc image with already installed Agent is cloned, it will respond to the server properly, but is assigned to already existing computer (only the DNS undergoes a change). This causes an incorrect assignation of software and hardware scan results.
