Hi

I've noticed that when scanning machines some of the reported node names are incorrect in the listing tree but correct on the information pages. It seems to be looking at the device IP address scanning the device but associating the IP address with the last device connected.

EG: I have 5 PC's connected to the network and scan each with NIA, I remove one of the machines, lets call it PC2 and plug a new machine PC6 into the same network port that PC2 was attached to. I tell NIA to import data based on a node name and enter the name PC6 - During scanning the dialog box says it is scanning PC2 and completes the scan (PC2 is not online, PC6 is being scanned)

After scanning looking at the network tree on the left hand side I still only have PC1, PC2, PC3, PC4, PC5 - No PC6. Looking at the properties of PC2 it is actually the details for PC6.

So details have been removed from PC2 and replaced by those on PC6 - Even the name in the status page shows as PC6. I've noticed this issue previously but had no details on why it may have happened as I usually do a full AD import.

The issue now is we have over 600 machines inventorised in NIA and we cannot guarantee the data associated to each is correct as PC56 might have the details asociated with PC149 if they were plugged into the same network port during scanning, this poses the issue of licensing as PC149 may have no office installed but PC56 does, querying the system for all office installs will not report on PC56's status as it is associated with data from PC149.

I can upload screenshots of the issue from scanning to reporting if required.

Thanks
