You can still control the behavior to include/exclude different functions you want to perform with the command line options:http://software.bigfix.com/download/bes … r_help.txtI think you can use the "-D" command to run it to only remove duplicates.Ben Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:53:32 -0700 http://forum.bigfix.com/viewtopic.php?pid=16416#16416 16416@http://forum.bigfix.com Topic: Duplicate Computer Message: Hi,Last time, we have individual removal tools for duplicate and expired BES clients.  But in version 7, it seems like it have been combine into one BESComputerRemover.exeBasically as some of the expired machine is still a company asset, even though it is power down and stored in the stored room, we can't remove it.  Thus the new executable is not feasible.Wonder can i specified the bes computer remover to just remove the duplicate computer with the silent installer.thanks Mon, 26 Oct 2009 09:48:00 -0700 http://forum.bigfix.com/viewtopic.php?pid=16386#16386 16386@http://forum.bigfix.com Topic: SQL Server Replication Message: Can you let us know more detail about what you are looking to do?
