Description

I am in the process of mass deployment of RustDesk and new devices show in the devices list but not in the address book until a user logs in, in most cases this is fine but for servers this is not very good.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the mass-deployment scenario described in the issue: compare newly deployed devices in the device list and address book before and after a user logs in. Check how machine names are populated for devices that have not had a user login. Done means newly deployed devices appear in the address book with identifiable machine names without requiring a user login.
