BESDuplicateRemoval
Version: 3.0.7.24

Summary:
This tool is used to delete duplicate computer entries from BES Consoles based on computer names being the same. The tool should be run on the BES Server. Duplicate computer entries are only marked as removed in the database and no information is lost on the computers.  If a deleted computer reports in again it will be restored with complete history information. For BES 7.0 with DSA enabled, this tool only needs to be run on the primary BES Server and the modifications will replicate automatically.
