NetBrain's device import process may rely on hostname alone to identify and de-duplicate devices, which can cause conflicts or import failures when multiple domains contain devices sharing the same hostname despite each having a unique fully qualified domain name (FQDN). This enhancement would allow the import process to recognize FQDN as a unique identifier, so devices with duplicate hostnames across different domains can be imported correctly without manual workarounds. Customers managing large, multi-domain environments with overlapping hostname conventions would benefit from accurate, conflict-free bulk device import.
