Remove Duplicate Host IDs

If PROXY Pro Host has been deployed using an imaging tool, and one or more Hosts are not found by the Gateway, you may have a duplicate HostID problem.  In this case, the Gateway recognizes the first Host machine with the HostID but ignores any other machines with the same HostID.  To resolve this situation, PROXY Provides a utility called RmHostID; it appears in the PROXY Pro Utilities file.  The RmHostID utility runs on one computer and searches one or more computers for Host installations that have a specified HostID.  If a matching HostID is found, the HostID is deleted and the Host Service restarted so that a new ID will be assigned.  This utility can be used to “clean up” Host installations with duplicate IDs on a LAN.
