Delete Inactive Computers from Notification Server
Submitted by ITCNB on 21 May, 2008 - 18:10.
hello everyone,
I have a question is there a job one can create to delete inactive computers when they are no longer part of our domain? I have noticed that when we replace a computer we still have record of both machines
is there automated task that would purge the old record and delete it from coming when i do a search on how many computers I have.




Yes
Take a look at the NS Configuration Tab > Server Settings > Notification Server Settings > Purginging Maintenance
There is a built in method named "Purge managed computer reporting to this NS, which have not reported data for X timeframe. By default this policy is turned off.
If you are using Asset, it is STRONGLY recommended you set this option to Retire - not delete.
