The )empty) entries where createddue to Credentialless Discovery. We have turned Credentialles Discovery off a few weeks ago.

We just removed the (empty DNS NAmes) entries.

11 days later, there where still no new records with an (empty && !!NULL) DNS Name.

 

Thank You

Alberto,

I will investigate: 

  • Setting the field "Name" to mandatory.
  • Create a BR that wil check "Before update" if the field "Name" is populated and abort the Insert if not.

I will comeback to it and give you credits if the solution isworking.
