    Cannot Associate My Windows Server with Windows Template

    It always show me the following error and i cannot associate my windows server host with the windows template. What can i do to make the template work?

    Cannot update host ----> Cannot inherit item with key "system.contact[sysContact.0]" of template "Windows by SNMP" to host "XXXXXX", because its inventory field "Contact" is already populated by the item with key "dell.server.contact[sysContact]".

    You seem to have another (dell) template assigned to the host, which also populates that filed in inventory... make a choice, which one should do it and disable populating inventory field in other one...

        Disabling item will not help, you need to edit it and remove "Populate inventory field".
