      Issue Summary

      In Assets Discovery 7.0.5 hosted on a Windows 2019 server, not all unknown hosts that are scanned aren't being deleting when using the Delete Unknown Hosts option.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Use Assets Discovery 7.0.5 on Windows 2019
      2. Enable the Delete Unknown Hosts
      3. Run a scan and confirm results

      Expected Results

      With the Delete Unknown Hosts option enabled, we expected all unknown hosts scanned should be deleted.

      Actual Results

      Majority of unknown hosts are scanned and are not deleted. We see the following scan results in the logs:
