Automate obfuscation (anonymization) of server name, computer name and IP address for audit snapshots

Often clients are hesitant to share their real server names, computer names and IP addresses in the audit snapshot as these data are deemed confidential. To send an audit snapshot that meets their business and data confidentiality criteria, they have to anonymize those names manually prior to sending the ILMT audit snapshot which can be a huge effort at the client. When talking about specific servers or computers later in the report, the "manual mapping" always has to be considered again at the client when questions occur on reported usage, This slows down assessment and resolution.

If ILMT defaulted to always anonymizing these names or addresses upon report generation, and the client could overwrite the setting if needed to show the data for their internal purposes, report delivery and validation would become faster and more consistent. 

ILMT would keep the anonymization mapping table (from real names to anonymized names) within ILMT for client eyes only.

    It can speed up reviews and collaborative baseline activities. I had several customers were we requested only the ILMT reports and they insisted that the names are confidential data and we need an NDA for that (and that NDA negotiation took many months) For the analysis of reports we don't need the real names and IP-Addresses.
