Recently I've noticed computer names not displaying properly in Dashboard. I've attached a screen shot
The top 3 names in the list are an example of what I'm talking about.
I opened a ticket with Meraki, and they said:
"what you are seeing there is the MDNS name which has a higher weight than NetBIOS and DHCP when reporting to dashboard. "
This is also happening on Apple devices. These names just started showing up in my dashboard a couple of months ago. This makes troubleshooting clients cumbersome. Meraki claims nothing has changed within Dashboard's back end configuration. Support's suggestion was to manually enter the computer name in dashboard, but that's not practical with thousands of machines over 25 separate networks.
Has anyone else seen this? Is there a way to disable mdns names in a client? Or to change it?
