  • 1.  Purge Old File Inventory Data - Altiris 7

    Posted Jan 04, 2011 04:44 PM

    I have created a custom inventory to look for all .pcf files in the "C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\VPN Client\Profiles" and C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco Systems\VPN Client\Profiles" folders.

    I have also created a task to delete our old .pcf file, and copy over our new .pcf files.

    Now that these have both been running for about a month, I went to check the file inventory to see my progress, and found that the old .pcf file is still listed in the "Installed File Details" on multiple machines.  I verified that on all the machines I checked, that the file no longer exists.  How can I get the old inventory data to clear, leaving an accurate picture of what the resources currently have?

    How about just running the sql to delete that entry from inv_installed_file_details so something like :

    delete from inv_installed_file_details

    where [name] like *.pcf

    I'm not sure where I would run that from (I'm kind of new to the sql world).  By design though, shouldn't Altiris purge the old data?
