Linux machines showing up as Windows OS

There is a FEATURE that the OS is obtained from the AD properties of the host. If you have machines that change OS but not name SEC can get confused about what  OS they are.

Seems like sophos is using the "operatingSystem" attribute in AD to populate the operating system field after a period of time.
Initial startup uses linux but then it changes it to a value based on the above AD attribute.

To resolve this I had to do the following

1 Use console to navigate to the computer in AD
2 click on View - Make sure "Advanced Features" is selected
3 Right click on the computer and select "Properties"
4 Click  "Attribute Editor" tab
5 Clear "operatingSystem" attribute
6 stop sav-rms on workstation
7 start sav-rms on workstation
8 wait about a minute and it will resolve
