let me guess, the company image is Windows, and the <something else>
booted before that is not Windows ?
It's most likely that the first system booted does not send a
Client-ID - this is the default for pretty much everything other than
Windows.
Then when the system is booted with Windows, a Client-ID is used.
The ISC server uses the Client-ID as the primary database key if one
is supplied, and only falls back to the MAC (hardware) address if
there is no Client-ID. So the two systems are different clients as
far as the server is concerned.
There used to be some patches that would "fix" this, but I've not
heard of them for a while and I've no idea if they are maintained. If
not maintained, they wouldn't work (I assume) against the current
versions.
But the obvious question is does it actually matter ?
