DS Jobs run in automation change to status: Replicated and job doesn't actually run

Products

• Deployment Solution

Issue/Introduction

Deployment jobs on certain known/managed endpoints never run and job status changes to "replicated"

Environment

DS all versions

Cause

In one scenario, Deployment jobs are not running on certain managed endpoints because the console is holding on to a stale/incorrect agent record information

Resolution

Delete the endpoint's entry in the console (Manage > Computers > search for endpoint you want to run the deployment task on) before booting it to automation

Additional Information

There may be other causes to this behavior but this is one scenario we have come across
