Hardware Models created each time a Computer is updated by a discovery source (such as Intun)

[Steven Watts2]

Hi,

Can someone explain why a new hardware model is created when an existing Computer record is updated by a discovery source.

For example:

Here I have nearly 1000 hardware product records:

Upon update of this Computer record, a new hardware model has been created and the Model ID field updated. I would have expected no new record to be created and no update to the Model ID field to have occured.

Have you found any more information on this? I am also interested in knowing what causes them to be created through the IRE.
