Tim,
You can create a dummy client (first you will have to make a dummy
entry in your hosts file) and assign the client id that is currently assigned
to oops.ndsu.edu to this dummy client. Once done oops.ndsu.edu will not be
bound to any client id and you can use it to assign it to a different clientid.

Subject: [Networker] any way to completely delete a clientid?
All-
Is there any way to make NetWorker completely forget about a clientid? I seem
to recall doing this once or twice in the distant past, but I can't recall what
the procedure is.
Here's the situation. A while back, another admin here created a client, which
I'll call "oops.ndsu.edu". NetWorker automatically gave it a clientid. We
don't believe there were ever any backups done of the client, and mminfo isn't
showing us anything for it. The admin later deleted the client.
I have a different client, newclient.ndsu.edu, with a different clientid, that
I want to rename as "oops.ndsu.edu". I'm following the procedure for renaming
a client and *trying* to preserve the client id, but NetWorker is detecting
that there once was a client named "oops.ndsu.edu"
with a different client id, and is giving me the error message
Found client: oops.ndsu.edu, client id: <old client id here>.
Specify this client or id or leave the client id blank.
Otherwise the client name must first be renamed
The last sentence appears to be a hint that I could recreate the *old* clientid
under a different name, but that's an awful lot of work to go through just to
"move" a clientid that I don't want any longer.
I'm hoping there's a procedure that can be used to make NetWorker completely
and totally forget about the clientid from the old client that was deleted.
Our NetWorker server is 7.6.2.5 on RHEL 6.2.
Thanks,
Tim
