Imaging Macbook Air - JSS not ignoring dongles?

I have the dongle adapter in the MAC ignore section of the JSS.

If I recon 2 airs (with same ethernet adapter plugged in), they show as 2 machines in JSS. The ethernet address 2 is correctly blank/ignored.

If I remove both machines from JSS and image one, and then image the 2nd, the 2nd gets the first's autorun data. The 2nd also takes the place of the 1st in the JSS so the end result is 1 Air when there should be 2.

I'm hoping it's something I'm doing wrong and not some outstanding bug. Can anyone confirm they can image one air after another and not have this replacement issue (out of the box, no prestage)? We upgraded to 8.52 just to address dongle issues.

    I can confirm that I can image MacBook Air's with the same dongle and have them show up in the JSS as different machines. I don't use autorun data though and I don't store the information on the server. I have seen an issue in 8.52 where it finds a ghost dongle from way back(always the same). We just grab a different one and all is well.

    I think this was my mistake from a leftover record from 8.4 that kept the removable mac address as part of the record. My bad.
