Issue/Introduction

When performing a Linux OS installation or deploying a Linux image using WinPE, we end up with two entries in the SMP Console. Both have the same name, IP address, etc., and one of the records is for the Windows and the other is for RedHat after the process is complete.  Both of these computer records are being created by the OS Installation or Imaging process when using WinPE, why?
