Delete old computers after x days from AD and SCCM
Question
Hi Everyone,
I plan to delete old computers after (x) days from AD and SCCM.
Please let me know what the best method is.
I see the site maintenance “Delete Aged Computer ..” but what is the best practice to resolve it.

Garth Jones, how can I prevent the machine(s) from that if someone just came across a device and turn on then went away? This will affect everything.

Matt John, You don’t. (per se) but there is 3rd party tool to help with that. (keep in mind that I work for one of them)

CM will delete computers after 90 days by default. However, you will need to computer up with your solution or look at 3rd party tools for AD.

Garth Jones, what about the machine becoming online then requesting the policy, heartbeat, etc. is this going to rest the 90 days?
