You don’t indicate which version of BigFix you are running. Newer versions, this is handled in the BES Admin tool on the BigFix Server.

Open BES Admin and enter your password. Choose the CleanUp tab.

You want to schedule the BES Computer Remover tool.

I recommend you schedule all three tools while you are in there.

Some details are mentioned in the command line options info here

This service creates, updates, and deletes a table (PropertyIDMap) in the BFEnterprise database that maps retrieved property names for the SiteID, AnalysisID, PropertyID used to reference properties in the QUESTIONRESULTS and LONGQUESTIONRESULTS tables. It creates the PropertyIDMap table if it does not exist (requires table creation permissions). This service must be run after creating or deleting a property to update the PropertyIDMap table with changes.

If you aren’t referencing the PropertyIDMap table from SQL (direct SQL calls are not recommended) then its probably not an option you need to use.

I don’t think that is entirely true. I think BigFix itself may use this to speed up some queries in some cases.
