pglyn-williams -> Deleted a computer object, still re-appearing when querying for System Resource (9/19/2008 9:36:16 AM)

Ok, I deleted a bunch of inactive computers from the SMS database using Delete Special (these computers were replaced - so no longer physically connected).  I was prompted to go through the regular motion of removing them from the database - pressed 'OK' ,etc.. and these were removed from the majority of collections.

However, in the a couple of collections that query by System Resource, these machines were still showing.  What I mean by this is, the query used to identify these machines, are based on System Resource as opposed to Computer Resource.

I wouldn't think this wouldn't make a difference, that SMS would just accept the computer object as one record and delete all references to it in the database regardless if it is a System or Computer resource.

So, first question I know you will ask, are you absolutely sure that you clicked Delete Special and the answer is yes.  Second question, were the collection memberships updated - again, yes.

Any other ideas, suggestions, etc.. always appreciated!

I should also mention that I just deleted the objects from the collections queried with System Resources.  Not sure if there is another way to resurrect these machine objects using another query type, so far I've tried System, System Resource, Computer Resource and no objects are showing for these old machines.  Just want to make sure they are purged completely and not ghosting somewhere in the database to bite me in the A$$ later on.

--Thanks all.

Are the machines being discovered by one of your discovery cycles, particularly AD System discovery.

Ahh! and I did check the creation date on those objects and they were done at 12am last night, so they were added back in from AD. 

Again, like I said - can always expect to get fast, prompt responses on here. 

Thanks bjohn!
