 Hi all, I created a new VM from an existing Ubuntu server running boinc.  Unfortunately although I detached the project before the snapshot, I forgot to sanitize the data.  I see the two servers now keep flopping back and forth and are maybe using the same ID even after I uninstalled, purged, and reinstalled on one. Any ideas how I can sanitize so that I have two distinct computer IDs? Thanks |

 Actually it seems it's working now.  Maybe just took awhile for it to process on the backend... not sure. |
