Sorry for the late repply...
Disabling "fast startup" did the trick for me.
The replacing of dash with colons didn't seem a good idea, cause for the Lenovo's it worked like that. Only the Dell's were the reluctant ones, so it seemed to be a station configuration problem.
@PowerBauer What operating system? Key authentication? Do you assign it by hostname or IP address?
If you are using key authentication, have you set two keys on the master that you want to control, and only the public key on the master?
Try to set it up based on that, that's what I looked at first.

Hello,
I have several teaching rooms with two master computers in operation. It is important that each master computer needs its own private key. I.e. the students' computers each get a public key of Master 1 and Master 2. Master 1 then has its own private key, Master 2 too. A private key for both masters does not work.
