FortiClient 6.0.4 - how I can change client Serial Nuber or UID2?

After deployment Win10 x64 (with preinstalled FortiClient 6) I have in FortiClient Enterprise Management Server console all my computers with one serial number and UID2.

How I can change this (SN or UID2) to split my computers in FC EMS?

Oh and here's the earlier fix

 

 

FcmDaemon.exe.conf [ClientGUIDs] ; 1 forces clients to have unique UIDs when they first attempt to register with the EMS server ; 0 disables this functionality. NewGUIDOnReg = 1

I feel your pain! We had the same problem. Originally there was a config file you could change which and if you 'marked the client as uninstalled' when FC sent its next telemitry message the FC UID would be updated. I'm not sure when this new feature was made available in EMS (we run 6.0.3).

 

Goto "System Settings", "Endpoints" then tick the "Allow duplicate FortiClient registrations". That should give you what you need.....
