this remained a problem until I updated to NBU 8.2 (linux) - then the server showed up in the Host Properties/Clients as a Windows server
I still think that there is a duplicate somewhere...
Either duplicate host name or duplicate IP in DNS or some hosts file.
Maybe try to do multiple forward and reverse lookups from master and media server.
I have only ever seen this at a customer where a Linux server had the same name or IP address as a Windows server (this was more than 10 years ago - I cannot remember exact details).
Perhaps there was an issue with a duplicate IP when the machine was first added? But it now has been fixed on the dns side? I don't know.
What I'd like to do is delete the client completely and re-add.
It isn't immediately apparent how to delete the client from the host properties - I will see what I can learn.
I double checked and that client is no longer in any of the policies.
sudo ./bpclient -client u1probob01v - delete --didn't produce an error, so it looked like it worked. But when I restarted the gui, u1probob01v was still under host properties as a Unix client. So problem remains for now
