Prevent SG-SCCM from Overwriting Normalized Manufacturer Name

Hello -

I've recently turned on Normalization Data Services to normalize the Company/Manufacturer names in our CIs, but the daily SG-SCCM import is reverting those changes. What's the best way to approach this issue? We're largely a HP shop, so we have a good number of those HP vs. Hewlett-Packard entries in our Computer CIs.

Thanks,
Peter

Hi @Alec Hanson,

 

This ended up being user error on my end. Apparently if you don't enable the Normalization API, the import via SCCM-SG will cause the previously normalized data to revert.

Hi @Peter525 ,

That is great thanks. 

So was that using the Service Graph Connector? 

A side question, if a new CI is being created with HP but Hewlett Packard is the normalised company, does the Normalization API pick up the HP or Hewlett Packard?

 

Cheers

Yes, with the Service Graph Connector. When a new CI is created via the SCCM import, Manufacturer is normalized to Hewlett-Packard.
