  • 1.  Remove Offline VDI Clients via Script

    Posted Sep 29, 2015 12:03 PM

    I need a little assistance on this one...

    Symantec Technical Support advised that we could remove offline VDI clients from SEPM using a script.  Due to the way our environment is set up, we are unable to tag the registry on our base image to mark the clients as non-persistent (Making the automatic removal setting useless).  This presents a problem since it causes our license count to climb once a VDI client goes offline.
     

    What I am looking for is a script that can remove clients from a particular group in SEPM based on Last Status Change.  All the research I have done makes it look like this isn't possible.

    Thanks,

    Hmm, did they say how it could be done? I would expect that they provided further guidance on this instead of just "it can be done"....

    We were simply told that the clients could be removed manually or with a script.  They did not elaborate how this could be accomplished.

    There is a publicly available script to move clients but nothing to remove that I've sever seen. I hope they didn't get confused here.

    Do you have a link to that by chance?  I might be able to make something work with it.

    Thanks for the script.  After looking at it, I don't think it will do what I need.  I'll see if it can be modified...
