RE: Clean up old computer accounts in SMS



You can also shorten the length of time for some of the Tasks (in Site
Settings, Site Maintenance). The Delete Aged... and Delete Inactive...
tasks. Check the F1 help on each task. But be careful! You might *think*
that setting a task to 7 days is a wonderful idea... but if a person turns
off their computer while they are gone on their week-long vacation; including
weekends that box has been off for 10 days. A perfectly valid computer was
deleted. So it's a balancing act: 90 days might be too long, but 7 days is
too short. Some very careful planning went into defining those initial
default settings, and changing them may have unforeseen results (like the
vacation scenario).

Hi,

You can refresh the update collection membership first, if it didn't work,
you can manually delete these clients in collection.
