NMAP Credentialess discovery changing CI class

In testing to enable NMAP discovery, we noticed that it will change the class of some of the CI's we have from say AIX Server to Hardware.  Hardware appears to be the default.  Now granted the items it changes are usually manually created CI's at some point however, we would like to turn off this behavior. 

 

What to do we have to do to make sure that NMAP discovery doesn't change the class of the CI?

Yes. We are seeing this as well.  Computers that fail full discover for some reason but glad that credential-less finds them, however, they get cataloged as Windows Servers just because it sees OS Family type of Windows from the device.  Ideally, devices get fixed so they credential discover.  However, in the meantime, there is a lot of noise in wrong tables and frustration with CI owners trying to manage their data.

See my reply above.
