I tried to deploy Veeam Agent for Windows from Veeam BR Community edition on a workstation to start the backup to Veeam BR CE repository.
That wasn't first deployment and I got en error message from one of the workstations: "12.02.2024 15:27:20 :: Unable to install backup agent: cannot connect to WS-name Error: Known agent WS-name1.local have the same bios uuid 03000200-0400-0500-0006-000700080009 but different connection point WS-name."
"WS-name" and "WS-name1.local" are the placeholders for 2 different workstations, and bios uuid is the real number from the message.
How to avoid the the error and correctly deploy VAW?
I opened the support case #07134085.
I post the problem here because the technical support for community editions goes its pace.

Re: Veeam Agent For Windows Free Edition deployment via Veeam BR CE
I've checked out the KB but described there is not my case. I was trying to deploy VAW on another workstation not a reinstalled one.
I'm suspecting that DHCP leases and DNS records are misleading Veeam BR CE while deploying VAW, though I don't see any wrong with DHCP leases and DNS records. Now I'm going to wait a couple of days to self-correct records of DHCP and DNS this two for workstations.
