What's the difference between this report and the "All Computers" collection? 

I'm asking that, since in the collection we have the correct number of computers (800) , and in the reports, we have at least 2x the numbers of computers (1800)! And, somes computers in the reports are duplicated... but not all (this is like this report it is using another database)?

Thanks.

Possible causes...

Without knowing what backend process are running for the NS itself you could have several things that could be contributing ot the duplicates...

-You are not merging any resources so any time a resource is created again it is not being merge with it original record.
-The report may be shoing All resources within the database despite their "managed" status.
-The report may be showing all resouces in the database despite their current asset status such as Active or Retired. Reports, depending on how they are written, can show all resources in the DB, all active resources or all managed resoruces. Colelctin will show all active & managed resources.

Ok I understand, but if I

Ok I understand, but if I want to clear ALL inactives computers from the database... I already configure the database purging, but it seem to have effect only on "managed" computers, now, what is the best way to delete all computers which is not "managed"?

We will re-discover computers that need the Altiris agent to be installed...

Thanks.
