CMDB IRE - Computer Identification Rule. Prevent duplicate

[chaluisant]

Can an Identification Rule be created to prevent duplicate names in the cmdb_ci_computer table for manual entries? 

I understand the OOB identification rule is derived from hardware but that allows for duplicate names in the computer table when records are created manually.

I tried creating an Identification Rule specific for cmdb_ci_computer but duplicate names are still allowed when these are created manually (New UI Action on the List View)  Trying to avoid going the route of creating OnBefore Business rules or similar and use IRE instead, if possible.  

Thanks in advance

Manually created record do not go thru IRE engine for those rules to get applied.

You need to do some client side scripting to stop before submit where - In Computer class you can stop dup names attributes.
