If the service tags are incorrectly configured by the OEM, different machines may have the same service tag and one workstation's details would overwrite the other's. To avoid this, add service tags to the Invalid Service Tag list so that workstations with the same service tag are ignored.

To add invalid service tags, click Add New, enter the service tag you want, and click Add.
