Force server owners to ensure servers are in the CMDB and discoverable

Hi,

 

In my experience credential based discovery can be tricky if you do not have all the correct permissions and firewall access in place.  Seeing as non discovered servers probably represent a security threat (what patch levels are they on etc ?!) it would make sense to enforce a policy where servers that are not in the CMDB are are not discoverable are not allowed access to Network resources.  

 

So my question is - does anyone know if there is a way to enforce a policy where servers (and maybe other end devices ) need to check that they exist in the CMDB before being able to fully boot up and allow users to access their resources ?
