Why do I have over 500,000 network adapter ci's in cmdb

[Thor A Simensen]

I only have about 20,000 computers, servers, and network devices in the cmdb, but have over 500,000 network adapter ci's.   Is this normal, or is there something I don't have configured right?

It looks like lots of "ndiswan" adapters are being created, which I think is a virtual device created by Windows.

I've added an onBefore to the SCCM Network transform that ignores any device with a name of "ndiswan" (ignoring case).

Hi there, would it be possible for you to share that onBefore code? I'm keen to keep the network adapter information but I don't want the ndiswan multitude of records.

Add a new Transform Script to https://???.service-now.com/nav_to.do?uri=sys_transform_map.do?sys_id=45b0b598ef13210098d5925495c0fb00

Name	Value
When	onBefore
Script	(function runTransformScript(source, map, log, target /*undefined onStart*/ ) { // ignore Windows intermediate driver (i.e. fake interface) if (source.getValue('u_servicename0').toLowerCase() == 'ndiswan') ignore = true; })(source, map, log, target);

Brilliant! works perfectly. Thank you for that.
