Duplication entries in Manager Console Collections
Hi, One of our client office we have deployed SCCM2007R2 and things are going fine now. In Manager console, client systems that are discovered by SCCM site appears along with that there are some duplication entries are also seen. The duplication entries are the client system that are discovered by SCCM site even after the clients are removed\crashed the entry is there. Can anyone suggest me is there any way to delete these entries automatically. note : there i found an option to delete the absolute after a certain time period, but i want it to be deleted immediately when it is removed from AD. with Thanks, Lokesh

Hi, There is no built-in feature to delete the resource from SCCM right after you have deleted the resource in AD. What you can do is create a script the deletes the resource in both databases (AD and SCCM) or create some collections where you can list those computers that haven't logged in for x-number of days (last one can be a little dangerous).

Hi Kent! May be I don't right, but if I installed ConfigMgr 2007 ToolKit V2 and right click by the dublicate in collection I can delete this record from DB. That is not automatic solution.

Which tool from the toolkit are you referring to? I am not aware that you would need the toolkit to delete a resource from the database.

Oh, sorry. I understood my mistake. It is heat - we all cannot think in Moscow. I am very sorry.

Hi all, You can use this script to delete the clients systems from sql database * Filter the client systems which wants to be deleted deom sms/sccm database * Create a notepad for injecting computer name as INPUT strSMSServer = " SERVER_NAME" strSMSSiteCode = "SMS_SITE_CODE" Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") If not objFSO.FileExists("C:\computer_lists\sms_deletion.txt") Then WScript.Quit(99) End If Set ObjStream = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\computer_lists\sms_deletion.txt",1) Set objLoc = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator") Set objSMS= objLoc.ConnectServer(strSMSServer, "root\sms") Set Results = objSMS.ExecQuery _ ("SELECT * From SMS_ProviderLocation WHERE ProviderForLocalSite = true") For each Loc in Results If Loc.ProviderForLocalSite = True Then Set objSMS = objLoc.ConnectServer(Loc.Machine, "root\sms\site_" & _ Loc.SiteCode) strSMSSiteCode = Loc.SiteCode end If Next Do While Not ObjStream.AtEndOfStream strComputer = ObjStream.ReadLine ' strComputer shouldn't be blank, if it is, there is something wrong with the input file. If strComputer = "" Then WScript.Quit End If 'get the resource ID of the computer bIsInSMS = False intResourceID = GetResourceID(strComputer,bIsInSMS) ' we check to see if the computer is "pingable". ' If it is, then perhaps we shouldn't be deleting it. If Not Reachable(strComputer) Then If bIsInSMS Then On Error Resume Next Set objResource = GetObject( "WinMgmts:\\" & strSMSServer & _ "\root\SMS\site_" & strSMSSiteCode & _ ":SMS_R_System.ResourceID=" & cstr(intResourceID)) ' don't try and delete the computer if we couldn't get a handle to it. If Err.Number <> 0 Then wscript.echo "An SMS error occurred: " + Err.Description + " (" + cstr(Err.Number) + ") "& strComputer else objResource.Delete_ wscript.echo "Deleted " & strComputer & "(" & intResourceID & ")" WScript.sleep 5000 End If On Error GoTo 0 Else wscript.echo "Not Found in SMS: " & strComputer End If Else wscript.echo "This machine is alive: " & strComputer End If On Error GoTo 0 Loop WScript.Quit Function GetResourceID(strComputerName,bFoundInSms) bFoundInSms = False Set colResourceIDs = objSMS.ExecQuery _ ("select ResourceID from SMS_R_System where Name = '" & _ strComputer & "'") for Each objResID in colResourceIDs GetResourceID = objResID.ResourceID bFoundInSms = True Next End Function Function Reachable(strComputer) ' On Error Resume Next Dim wmiQuery, objWMIService, objPing, objStatus wmiQuery = "Select * From Win32_PingStatus Where Address = '" & strComputer & "'" Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2") Set objPing = objWMIService.ExecQuery(wmiQuery) For Each objStatus In objPing If IsNull(objStatus.StatusCode) Or objStatus.Statuscode<>0 Then Reachable = False 'if computer is unreacable, return false Else Reachable = True 'if computer is reachable, return true End If Next End Function * Tested in Lab Environment only * with Thanks, Lokesh
