Can't differentiate 2 different servers

Sounds like you copied/cloned your original server when doing your original migration. This will leave both machines with the same identifiers. Stop that server and try manually deleting those identifiers.

Preferably create a backup of the actual file in case you get things mixed up.

~/Library/Preferences/com.plexapp.plexmediaserver.plist

I’m not 100% sure if you need to delete all entries but those should be the ones in question:

  • AnonymousMachineIdentifier
  • MachineIdentifier
  • ProcessedMachineIdentifier

To delete each property, best use the following command in your Mac’s terminal:

defaults delete com.plexapp.plexmediaserver <key>

Where <key> is one of the 3 property keys listed above.
