Why is my wildcard certificate being generated with the wrong "issued to" information?

I´m generating my wildcard certificate (*.mycorp.net) not using CN, instead, using DNS (like a SAN certificate)

It works ok, using MMC certiicate snap-in, but the "issued to" is being filled with some other field, like "Country", "Organization"

based on my tests, i can´t use the CN because it conflicts with Website and Chrome browser it doens´t accept it, so im generating using a SAN-style", but instead seeing *.MyCorp.net in the "issued to", it looks like it´s being used a random information from other fields, like "Country", "Organization"

What should I do?

The certificate works with no problem, but when users try to see the basic cert information, they´re not seeing the *.mycorp.net as usual
