Issue 1:
Description
After upgrading from OpenManage Essentials version 1.1.1 to 2.1, or 1.1.1 to 1.2 to 1.3 to 2.0 to 2.0.1 to 2.1,
the Custom URL settings page may display multiple custom URLs based on the classification of a device
in the device tree.
For example, if a custom URL is created for the Servers device group and the servers in your environment
are classified under the Servers, RAC, and VMware ESX Servers device groups in the device tree, after
upgrading to OpenManage Essentials version 2.1, the Custom URL settings page displays three Custom
URLs (one for each of the device groups under which the servers are classified in the device tree).
