  • 1.  DS 7.1 "All Computers" up-to-date information.

    Posted Jan 18, 2012 10:44 AM

    Hello.

    I would like to have the "All Computers" list up to date, with the pc's/ terminals/ printers/ networking hardware that we have deployed in our company.

    When I first configured Altiris I did an active directory import that was full of dead computers that has 'polluted' my computers list.

    Also I did a network scan of all the subnets that we have in our company, this brought back lots of devices that is all stale records.

    So my question is which is the best way to have my list as up to date as possible.

    Thanks in advance.

    There's a Managed Computers view if you just want to see what's managed.  Purging Maintenance will only affect managed computers that haven't reported data for X [period of time].  If you have computers that are not managed -- stale AD records or network discovery items -- this will not modify them.  The best solution in that scenario is to delete the resources through the console or through a SQL query.

    Thanks for the response.

    Automating these sorts of things is ultimately the best way.

    I dont suppose u have the sql query u are referring to :)

    Here's a report that would get it for you quite easily:

    SELECT vc.Name, vc.[OS Name]

    FROM vComputer vc

    WHERE vc.[IsManaged]=1

     

    Is this what you were looking for, or not quite?
