Does anyone know if the inventory database is limited in my following scenario. My deployment is used to manage both a domain and non-domain setting. The non-domain setting contain multiple sites with unique IP addressing but a repeat of the same machine names. When I run an inventory and then try to get reporting of these systems I get one entry for say "ComputerA" "ComputerB" etc.. when there should be many "ComputerA" with different IP addresses in each entry as there are many machines named "ComputerA". I have unique DNS Suffix names added on these workgroup computers and that is how WSUS is able to bring them in knowing they are unique names but not having much luck getting any reporting from Patch Manager on all my systems. They all show up in the main Patch Manger console under their respective WSUS server. If there is a way to have them report the full name with dns suffix that might be the key or could be the basis for a hotfix option.
Maybe someone knows if this is a limitation or if there is a work around or maybe I can talk to support and get a hotfix for my system that will help. I wanted to try here first before support.and get any input. Attached is the example report setting I am running. -thanks
