Remove computers reporting since x days from database?
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 3 comments
How we could configure the Asset Management database to remove computers that did not report since a numbers a days?
I'm asking that, since we have to produce an inventory, but we have a lot of OLD computers in the database.
Thanks.

This will remove all associated data & history for your assets from the database.
There are options to still retire computer but retain their history for financial reconciliations or to track the life cycle of the asset as well.
This purge will remove the ability to perform those types of historical look-ups.
