Hahaha, this is so insane but glad to hear it worked. This case was driving me mad!

Honestly mate you are an absolute LEGEND!!! big thanks

I've run the onboarding script after install.ps1 which gives the device the correct tagging and that's run fine, so all I need to do is wait a few hours and it should populate in the MDE portal.

I need to try and work out how the hell do I replicate that in a easy fix to the rest of the servers over 300 posts of info

Thanks for the kind words, this was a very interesting issue particularly because it was very hard to find the root cause, also due the lack of well-documented docs from Microsoft.

Yeah that's the next challenge, but I will leave this thread open...

Your welcome, I'll report back and let you know how things go and hopefully this will help anyone else how ever has this issue

Great, let me know the result of the other servers and if the issue differs at some point.
