Removing specific types of computers with BESComputerRemover

(imported topic written by SystemAdmin)

The desktop people want there non responding computers removed from the console after 60 days that would include Desktops and Laptops

I don’t want to be so aggressive with the severs, I’m looking for a way to use the BESComputerRemover to only remove Desktops and Laptops

and nothing else … is this possible ?

Use the -P option. From the help file:

-P : Use the specified retrieved property to find duplicate computers, like “Mac Address”. (Default “Computer Name”)

You will need to tag the non-Servers (if no suitable property exists) in the Console previous to running the Remove tool.

do you have an example of how to use the -P option… I have a property called “Computer Chassis Type” which contains the different types of computers…

“Laptop”, “Desktop”, “Server”, “ESX”, “Unix”

how do I format the command below to pick Laptops and Desktops

BESComputerRemover.exe -D -l -L C:\Scripts -P “Computer Chassis Type”
