'Machine Name' renaming not effecting 'Slave Name'

Deadline
1

I having an issue, where I’ve renamed a node on the farm and deleted the node from the Deadline Render Farm list.

When the farm node launches the slave and reconnects with deadline, it ‘remembers’ it’s old name, which is now different than it’s Machine Name.

So in the list the ‘Slave Name’ is now different than the ‘Machine Name.’ Which is causing issues with some of my other max scripts…

Doe anyone know where this old name is being stored and how to delete it?

I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled Deadline on the Client as well and that had no effect.

Thanks

This is a bug in Deadline 5 that will be fixed in Deadline 6.

To workaround it for now, just go to %ProgramData%\Thinkbox\Deadline\slaves on the slave machine and delete all the files in this folder. The next time you restart the slave, it should take on the new machine name.

Cheers,
