Regenerate *nix Device ID / Unique ID

Problem:

Need to regenerate the device ID in the landesk.conf file

Solution:

Note: This has not been fully tested by LANDESK.

Note: It is not recommended to install an image with the agent pre-installed

Using the script below you can regenerate the ID in the landesk.conf file

#Make a backup of the landesk.conf

cp /opt/landesk/etc/landesk.conf /opt/landesk/etc/landesk.conf.oldID

#Generate new ID

UUID=`uuidgen`

myline="Device ID={$UUID}"

#Display new ID

echo $myline

#Write new ID into landesk.conf

sed --in-place '/Device ID=/d' /opt/landesk/etc/landesk.conf

sed --in-place 1" i\\$myline" /opt/landesk/etc/landesk.conf
