  • 1.  SEPM 12.1 - delete inactive Client computers

    Posted Nov 24, 2011 02:47 AM

    I need to delete inactive computers.

    If I read this 

    http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH168121

    "Under the General tab change the option "Delete clients that have not connected for" to be 1 day then click OK"

    But if I check my database properties that setting do not exitsts there. I only have Name, Description, Truncate DB and Rebuild index.

    1: In the SEPM go to Admin > Servers
    2: Right-click on the entry with the database servers name and instance, possibly localhost, under Local site and go to "Edit Database Properties"
    3: Under the General tab change the option "Delete clients that have not connected for" to be 1 day then click OK
    4: Right click on database again and click on "Rebuild indexes now" and "Truncate transaction log now

    No, we have been using SEP manager for 3 years.
    We have the PROTECTION SUITE ENTERPRISE EDITION 4.0

    Exact version is: 12.1.1000.157 (RU1)

    We are using Enterprise Edition 12.1.1000.157 (RU1) and the  "Delete clients that have not connected for" option is now under Domains.  I just spent half the morning in database properties looking for this option.  Thought I had lost my mind.  We have a test machine running 12.1.671.4971 and  "Delete clients that have not connected for" is under database properties.  It was definitely moved to domains in RU1.

    Is this by design?  If so, all the documentation is wrong.

    It was moved by design to allow clients to be deleted on a per domain basis. It's noted in the RU1 release notes.
