    Yes The packages will be removed if you have set this in the Package Server configuration. The options is delete unused packages after x days.

    I have that set  to Never.... thinking that was on the local desktops...

     

    So you are saying if I set that to say 10 days on a new package....

    setup a rollout to go out in 30 days... the software will delete itself off of the servers in 10 days so i wont have the software available to distribute?

    sorry for the newbish question.. i never bothered cleaning up... hence the never and dont worry about it... but looking at going to NS 7 soon so I want to cleanup what i have to keep track of what i need....

    ok so then a good strategy to get rid of stuff is simple...

     

    knowing it will be retired...

     

    1. delete task
    2. delete collection
    3. mark software package to delete if not used for 1 day

    in 2 days.. the software will be removed from all package servers and from the Software page in NS..

     

    appreciate it man! Boy I got a lot to do!!!!
