Why is Active Directory discovery creating records based on the Domain NetBIOS name instead of the Common Name?
You run a computer that is a member of a domain (such as Domain A). The first common name (CN) of the domain fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is different from the domain NetBIOS name.
The computer is a member of a group in a different domain (such as Domain B).
ConfigMgr 2012 R2 Active Directory discovery is run in Domain B.
In this case, the computer that is a member of Domain A is a foreign security principal.
In this scenario, the computer that is a member of Domain A and all other computers in Domain A are discovered incorrectly as using the NetBIOS name of the first CN of the FQDN of Domain A.
