Computer Name Description Not Showing Correctly

I've seen previous posts on this, but haven't seen anything new in several years.

We're running a mix of Cisco Meraki 9300 and Meraki MS210 switches for our company. When we click into Network-Wide--Clients. A majority of our clients have MDNS names that look like the image attached.

We're running 99% Windows machines, with a few Linux and VMWare devices sprinkled in.

How can I force Meraki to pull the actual client host name and not these MDNS names?

I know I can go in and re-name the clients, but we have several hundred devices, and that is a nightmare.

The problem is - many things on the machine can produce MDNS packets. For example, Google Chrome does.

I often see that companies disable it for Windows, but not all the software running on Windows.

Yes, still having the issue. Been looking into Meraki Systems Manager to see if maybe that would work, but haven't gotten that far.
